So this year I decided to run the Salt Lake half marathon, and let me tell you I was so glad I didn't do the whole one. 13 miles is such a good distance I should never run a full marathon again. I will though because I want to eventually qualify for the Boston marathon. I might have to wait until I get older though so my qualifying time goes up. There is always hope though if you can just finish a marathon and you are over 80 you will qualify. My running partner and good friend Faye Dawn ran together and decided we would try to run a half at the same pace we would have to run the full in order to qualify. I ran about 10 miles at that pace and had to cut back for about 3 throughout the race. So we are getting there, with a lot more training I think we will be able to do it on our next one. :)

Good work! I was there, too bad I didn't see you.
Wow!!! Brinley, that's pretty impressive!
Good for you guys! I'm trying to work back up to the running thing. Being pregnant killed me in that department and I was doing so good before I got pregnant. Oh well. Congrats on the half!
nice job on the half Brin, I didn't know you were running. How are you strangers anyway?
