Provo River 1/2 Marathon

This last Saturday was the Provo River 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles). We ran it for the first time last year and really enjoyed it, so as long as we are in Provo, I think it will be our tradition. It was another beautiful day, with a cool breeze running along the river down the canyon. We beat our last years time by 28 minutes, whoo!

I have really come to appriciate living around here and all the outdoor activites and groups of people that are into events like these. I don't know what it will be like wherever we end up moving after this but this is a pretty active area. We will just keep trying to take advantage of it as long as we are here!

Hey, here's runner friend. Way to go Ben and Holley. I'll be rooting for you when you run your 26r in October.

don't worry, sometime i stop and think "where did all this come from?" when did i get all sporty/outdoorsy whatever. i am still working on an answer to that.
