This weekend I made what was my 5th trip down to St. George to run the Painter's Half Marathon. Yippee.
Actually, I had a pretty good time. Three of the kids went down with me and I think we had some fun. It was nice just to get away. Unfortunately, some of the crap in my life just tends to follow me wherever I go. You'd think I'd be used to it by now. Oh well.
Anyways, Painter's. I ran 1:46:43 on a course that is decidedly short by a quarter of a mile (give or take) but still is not an easy course. The first of the fam that ran was Russ with a 1:37:13. Jerry came next with a 1:38:50. Then it was me, followed lastly by Brett in 1:48:12.
Following the race we all went to The Pizza Factory for a get-together with some forum running buddies.
Ended up staying Saturday night as well--an unexpected but very welcome extension to our trip.
My next race is the Moab/Canyonlands Half Marathon in March. I'm looking forward to this one with great anticipation although I'll be sleeping in a tent at the local KOA.
My house is freezing and so are my piggies. I'm going to throw in a movie and hit the sack.
Peace Out!
