Bryce Half Marathon



Tomorrow I run Bryce. Patrice called this morning asking if we could leave at 2pm. She said her hubby thinks its going to be a 3 hr drive. We will carb load at their offered pasta bash and pick up our stuff at packet pick up. Then retire for an early start tomorrow morning at 6am. Temps yesterday in Bryce were 45 at 6am and 68 at 9am (you have to be finished by this time). Great weather to run in. Anything under a 2:27 is a personal best for me. My only anxiety is the elevation. This will be the highest I have ran at starting at 7652 and ending at 5800 feet. I just have to take my inhaler and see how the day plays out.

Daniel is picking up Lewis tonight from the airport since I won't be here. I really wrestled with this but after Lewis told me he would be upset if I didnt' run, I decided I have to trust my son and my husband to do this without me. Faith....I keep telling myself...have some faith. I am glad to have Lewis home with us again. We remarked that its that excitement like when the kids were little and used to want to sing "I'm so glad when Daddy comes home" song. That is how we feel. Yay! Absence makes the heart grow fonder?

No passing out while running in all of that heat, gross!! If you must pass out go off to the side of the road first and then find a nice soft spot. Good Luck!
