Ogden Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:25:18, Place overall: 5, Place in age division: 1 | | This was my first time running the Ogden Half and I loved the scenery. I ran the Ogden Marathon a few years back but didn't enjoy running down Ogden canyon like I did today. I felt the downhills today on the course and remember thinking, "where were these hills when I ran the marathon?!" Today, I wasn't expecting much since I'd only been back to training hard in the last 3 weeks from taking 4 weeks off with a sciatic nerve injury. Riley encouraged me not to wear my watch so I didn't stress about pace and just run off of feel. It's really nice running a race with no pressure or expectation. I took the first 5 miles easy and then decided to work the canyon portion of the race. I looked ahead and just slowly started picking off people. When I got out of the canyon and onto the parkway I started feeling fatigued and by mile 11 I was hurting and hoping to hang on and finish the race. It was a slower finish for me but that'll come back again with more running. I was surprised to see my time at 1:25 when I ran in and am way happy with it! 4 out of the top 5 women places today were taken by utahrunning.com elite team wahoo! Special shout out to my friend Katie Thompson who won! She's not on the blog but a great runner I'm happy for her today! Here's some pictures taken by Riley today.
