Cedar Canyon Half Marathon

What a fun Saturaday morning. Mendy, Tim Roberts and I rode a bus up the Canyon early Sat. Morning to run Cedar City's First Half Marathon. It was Great! I was able to beat my personal best time by 10 min. Mendy beat her time by 30 min. what an amazing day.
I ran into the young man at about mile 12 and he and I ran in together to the end.

Here we are sprinting to the finish line.










I just saw the timer and got so excited. I really didn't think that I could hit 1 hour 45 min.

Here is our team at the begining of the Red Rock relay in Brian head. We started off at the top of the lift. Our first runner ran down to the bottom of the lift and then the second runner took over and ran towards Cedar Breaks. Then we went over through Mamoth and past Duck Creek and Navajo lake, then down through Cedar canyon. My first leg was from Milts down to SUU P.E. building. Then we ran over to New Castle, through Enterprise andover to Central. My second leg was from Central to Veyo. It was between 6 and 7 am. We then ran down to St. George and over the Red Hill to the Washington Rec. Center. Our team then ran through Hurricane and Laverkin and up over the hill to Zion's.
