Eight of us drove down together and stayed a very nice house in St. George.  We ate dinner at the Pizza Factory and then picked up our packets.  I shared a room with Michelle N.(Shimelle).  It was so fun.  We stayed up until 12:30 a.m. talking.

Race morning:  We got up at 7:30, got ready and headed over to the race.  I started with Jody, Cheris, Michelle M., and Dean.  Peggy found us about 1 mile in.  Our plan was to start slow and gradually get faster as we went.  It was great running as a group.  It was a lot like our Boston Marathon.  The miles flew by.   I felt good the whole time.  I drank Gatorade at the first 2 stops and had a GU just before mile 8. 

My splits were 8:50, 8:33, 8:27, 8:27, 8:02, 7:51, 7:51, 7:57, 7:50, 7:36, 7:55, 7:39, 7:52, and a 6:09 pace for the final .1.  Average pace 8:04.

Hey there Julie!!! Looks like you all had a FANTASTIC progressive run/race! How fun to run in a pack like that. It was great seeing you, even though I wish it could have been for longer!!

Nice job! :)

I am glad you guys had such a good time! I love the later start on this one---you CAN stay up all night and talk! See you Tuesday.

Awesome run! I'll bet it felt great to get faster as each mile flew by. Well done!

Great race Julie. You make running a half-marathon sound easy.
