On October 20th Rachel, Mike and I ran in the Haunted Half Marathon. It was 13.1 miles down Emigration canyon, up by Fort Douglas, through the U of U campus, past the Salt Lake City cemetery and ending in Memory Grove. This was Rachel's first 1/2 and she did AWESOME! I ran with Rachel the whole time. We crossed the finish line together. Mike finished about 15 minutes ahead of us. The great thing is Rachel LOVED it and wants to do another one and maybe even a marathon :) It sure makes me happy that she likes to run. It is nice to have something we can do together. Some of the costumes were pretty amazing. Mike ran the whole way in his costume with his face covered up (pretty claustrophobic to me). The most I wanted to do for a costume is spray my hair red (which I still have some pink in it today, so not quite sure if that was a great idea :)
This Headless Horseman was riding around at the start. Pretty amazing costume!
Judy and Roger came and brought Will and Sadie. It was nice to have Roger take pictures and to have them cheer us on at a few spots.
St George marathon may be in our future...
I vowed I would never do another marathon unless one of our kids do one. I may have to do another one after all!
