This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and it was beautiful. It felt cold at the start, like many runs do, but I was quickly good and warm. It was a fun run, so no awards, just an official time at the end.
The run started between Big Bend and Emerald pools in Zion canyon and ended at the visitor center. My dad ran with me, so it was a slow time for him, but a big P.R. for me. He always pushes me and then claims he let me set the pace, ha ha. Last night I picked my parents up at the airport and we arrived home about 1 hour before we had to leave for the run. So, we are tired. Neither of us got much sleep and now everyone is ready for a nap.
