Utah Marathon Relay

I think this may be a new favorite fall tradition for us! I ran this race last year and loved it, the boys did the kids 1k and loved it, so when it rolled around again this year we figured why not! I put a team together really quick, like the 2 weeks before and we hit the trail! The boys were super excited and did great! Last year Chris ran with them, we let them go on their own this year so I made them promise to stick together.


On your marks, get set, go!!!!

Coming up on the finish line!Gold medals to prove it!! They were so proud and I was so proud of them :) I love that they love to be active and healthy.
I didn't do as well as I did last year, but hey it's been a rough summer. I wanted to come in under 50 minutes for the 5.2 miles and I came in at 48 min so that was good. It's a fast course. My first mile was 7:32 and I knew I'd be in trouble if I kept that up so I slowed down a bit but my send mile was still pretty close to 8. That tells you a lot about the very last mile huh? oh well. About mile 4 you pass the finish line but then have another long horrible loop on the black asphalt, no shade or nothing pretty to look at it just sucks to keep going. Oh well, Glad I did it and love my family for supporting me!

We were team BarFelJen. Barlow's ran the first 2 legs, Feller's ran the next 2 legs, and I Jensen ran the last. We came in 26 out of 63 teams, not too bad :)
