The Other Half Moab

So this last Sunday October 17th my older brother Peter and I ran the Other Half in Moab Utah. This was my second half marathon and Peter's third. I asked him to come run it with me cause he keeps me going. It was a georgous run and we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. This was a much harder run than I thought it was going to be though. The hills killed me!!! Yikes I didn't think they'd be that bad but they were so I didn't do as well as I'd have liked to but it wasn't terrible considering I didn't train all that much.We finished in 2 hrs and 40 min so hopefully when we do our next one we can beat our 2hr and 15 min mark that we did in our first run. Peter is such an awesome brother, he flew out to Colorado just to run with me. He can run forever so that's why I ask him to run with me cause then that sibling rivalry comes out a little bit and I think if he can still be running so can I. I couldn't run the whole way though seriously those hills were killer and my knee wasn't having any of it. He kept saying that I had to stop so he wouldn't die of a heart attack like his wife was afraid of. So he told me really I was saving his life by having to walk. Anyway it was really was fun and I'm grateful that he and I have that time that its just the two of us. We talk and laugh and just have fun. Dave was able to be at the fiunish line this time and that was nice to have him and Boyd there cheering for us. Aubrey decided to go to a slumber party instead so she wasn't able to come but she called and asked how we did. Such a sweet girl!! It was a great weekend and I'm happy to have another half under my belt. Now to train for the Surf City half in February ( I hope I can go) We want to run that one in under 2 hours this time.
