13.1

This weekend, Camille and I ventured to Moab to run the Canyonlands Half Marathon. It was a fun trip. We both survived - but not without war wounds to show for it...

Before the race...

After the race...feeling tired...but strong

Camille's blood blisters

Notice my black middle toenail (this picture doesn't do it justice).
It's only a matter of time before it falls off.
And judging by the pain, I'm even thinking it may be broken.

Thanks Camille for a great weekend. It was fun to push the limits, hit the wall on mile 12, get a PR on the Moab course, camp, and eat fast food without the guilt. Good times.

Also, thanks to Stuart who surprised me by driving down to Moab early early Saturday morning to cheer me in after a long and hard race. I love him!

    YAY for running! I loved this post. I love everything about fun runs. Although at the half marathon distance, it can't quite be categorized as a fun run anymore. That's serious stuff. I'm doing Ogden's half in a few weeks, and I'm worried I'm not quite ready. But I did go get shoes at half size bigger than normal - hoping to prevent the lovely foot injuries - though what will I have to show for my efforts if I don't get any?!
    I bet the course was really pretty. I love Moab.
