We came home from Vail on Thursday, Friday I rested, and Saturday I needed to do a long run for training. So I decided to do the Morgan Valley Marathon, the half marathon about two weeks prior. I easily convinced one of my running buddies and neighbor Erin to do it with me.

Now from here we'll just try to get better. We have another run in September we'd like to try, after I do the marathon (which by the way, I think is a bucket list thing, half marathon's are more my distance). Without someone to run with, I'm sure I wouldn't be running as much. At night when I get to go with girls from the neighborhood, it is the time to have adult conversation, talk about our kids, and recharge with endorphins for the next day. I felt really good after this race too, which is another goal of mine. I don't want my legs to feel dead or ache so much that I can't move. Worked out too because later that day we went to Preston for the rodeo and family time, but more on that in the next post...

How hard was this race for beginners? I'm looking to do it in a month but haven't exactly trained.... What are your suggestions?
