Snow Canyon Half Marathon

JD RAN A HALF MARATHON!!!

 During the summer I signed up to do the Snow Canyon Half Marathon down in St. George, JD told me he was going to do it with me and that he was going to beat me.... We made a deal that if he beat me he could go buy a mountain bike. Well weeks past I signed up and told JD I would sign him up when he started to train because I didn't want to waste $45.00 for the regristration fee. The training never started.

 

Fast forward a few months to the day we were leaving for the race. My training had dwindulled down to nothing due to the process of selling our house and it was now under contract. That morning I had a complete break down, after calling my Mom I decided that my parents would take the kids down to St. George for the weekend so I could start the process of getting everything packed. JD got home from work and after a major discussion/fight the whole family was on our way to St. George with my parents.

 

 My brother-in-law Colby was suppose to run the race but he never trained for it and they had gone down the week before so they told us JD could use his number. So JD decided in the car driving, without a day of training to try it. He did AWESOME we ran together until mile 7 and then his knee started bugging him so I continued on. What a supportive wife :) JD got a time of 2:11  and I got 1:51. Not my best at all but it was a really fun race, I out kicked a guy to the finish line and it was great to run with JD.

 

 I remember catching up to JD after slowing down to chat with a friend and thinking to myself he is one amazing guy to still be running this fast!! JD said he will never run another one with out training but that it was fun.
