SAINT GEORGE MARATHON!



So, the marathon was so great. We stayed in the Christiensen's home in Saint George, which was so accommodating with a pool and beds and bath for everyone. Rob was great to drive four women runners down and listen to their nervous rambling. Saint Goerge is really an a fun course. I love the hills and for the most part the downhill! We had perfect weather, the only problem was arriving late for the last bus to head up the canyon and miss a chance at the bathrooms before the race. Not good.

Before the race I thought I might want to take a break from the marathon training but afterward I felt a renewed energy and I want to run another while I am trained for it. The Phoenix Rock and Roll is in Janruary, hmmmmmm. We'll see. I am going to get Rob to do the next one with me!

This weekend is the Saint George Marathon and I am totally excited. This will be my second marathon and my first Saint George Marathon. Kerry my older sister and April my great friend and Rob are all driving down tomorrow to Saint George and are meeting some great friends, Jen and Derek Smith from Washington. It's going to be so much fun and I might even run it faster than last time. We'll see, and we will post some great photos when we get back. Thanks Kim and Eric for letting us stay at the Christensen's this weekend!
