Personal:

I am married with 3 lovely children 28, 20, 14 and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue.  Love to run and be outside.  I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible.   Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

My legs were dead, details later. 

I knew going into this race my legs would be tired  , but I was hoping I would still be able to break 1:30.  I warmed up with Ericka and Kassi 4 miles and made sure I was fueled well and practiced taking a gel in the race. I felt good the 1st half of the race and then when we started the downhill stuff at 7 my legs felt like they did the day after Nebo.  The 3rd place girl cought up to me at this point and I was thinking crap I don't have it in me to hold her off.  Well I did until 12.5 and then there is a short steep uphill that killed my legs completely off and she passed me like I was standing still,  I let her get to far ahead and couldn't catch back up to her.  I did close the gap but my legs were toast with melted butter on them. I did run a very small PR in the race so I shouldn't complain but i just wish I would have stuck it out and helf off the very fine lady that passed me.  I would like redemtion on this course I do like a good honest half and this one is very honest, so I hope they do it again next year (I have heard rumors they aren't going to do it anymore due to low turn out). Cooled down with Kassi and Ericka 4 more miles and my legs felt like I had just ran Nebo again.
