Bryce Canyon Half-Marathon

This morning Marie and I ran the Bryce Canyon Half-Marathon!! I have been training for it for a couple of months now and am so glad it is over! The race was beautiful and the first 6 miles went by so fast because it was pretty much all down hill. The last 7 were killer and I wanted to quit so many times, but I didn't and finished in my goal time which I was happy about. Thanks Marie for training with me and encouraging me when I wanted to quit which was pretty much every day. :)

The day before we went on a hike to this cool little waterfall. It was fun and beautiful but REALLY hot!
