Mapleton Moonlight Half

Emily, Lindsey and I ran my favorite half marathon last Friday night. It's great because it gives everyone a chance to win. You can start whenever you want, and the first to cross the finish line after midnight wins. No timing devices allowed. It is a nice laid-back atmosphere and there isn't that rush at the beginning with all the runners trying to get their spot. It takes place during a full moon and is a mostly downhill-ish course. You know what doesn't make for a great half marathon? cinnamon roll/cake breakfast, coke and potato chips second breakfast, lunch, and eating dinner at 2, as well as post-dinner-pre-race-meal at 5, then running at 9:30. Who would have thought... It was actually a very fun race and I didn't get too sick until the last 2 miles. Thanks Em and Linds for making me run this. Not to mention the sweet shirts we got. (Sorry whoever's picture this is. You are such great models of the shirt)

(No pictures...which shouldn't surprise you if you know me and/or my family)
