I ran the Provo Canyon 1/2 Marathon on Saturday. It was by far the funnest run I have yet to do...
I had to be at the riverwoods at 4:45 which meant I had to leave my house by 4:15. But I learned my lesson...don't wake up that early and catch one of the last busses to the starting line. We started 4 miles up Vivian Park and I was among the first busses to arrive (curse my need to be on time for EVERYTHING) so there we were about 50 of us standing in the dark watching busses come and drop people off then go back for more until there were nearly 2000 of us. We stood up there until about 7:15 am when the last bus came up dropped the people off then the race finally started. By the time the race started I was frozen along with the other 1999 people who were waiting. When I started to run I literally couldn't feel my feet up to my hands but I decided it was a good thing because I couldn't feel my legs on the main downhill part of the run.
Anyway, I did it and it was great. My time was 2:13:?? If you look at the website it says 2:23 but I had to pee half way through and jeff timed how long it took and it was 10 minutes exactly because the lines were so long.
But I am definatley looking forward to the next 1/2 I sign up for. It is way fun and addicting. I wish we would have taken the camera, but we forgot it.
