Describe your race day.

Beautiful scenery and downhill glory! Made a Faster Time than I expected and it's only my 2nd Half!
Did you PR?

Sure did by 9 mins from my 1st Half Marathon!
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful all around, loved the change of scenery as you go down the canyon. Love the twists and turns.
Tell us about your training.

Consistency is Key in my book, as long as you keep running no matter how much distance you go in the end it will pay off! I did a 12 week training, got set back with some lower leg pain, but just kept running as much as I could whether I got the distance I needed that week!
What advice would you give future runners?

Be prepared for it to be super cold before the race starts and the first half of the race is chilly!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Stayed in a hotel close to the race over night before the race and went back to relax after the race! It was Great! I'm just from Utah County too! Ha.
