Top of Utah Half Marathon

Cody and I both ran the Top of Utah Half Marathon last Saturday!  It was one of the funnest races yet!  That might have something to do with Cody and I both getting our personal best times in a half!  Before this year I always said "someday" I will run a half marathon in under 2  hours.  Earlier this summer I ran a half in 1:59:50.  I made my goal by 10 SECONDS!  I was thrilled but I figured I would never PR (personal record) again.  At the Top of Utah half I ran 1:57:16!  I was thrilled.  Cody also got a major PR.  I think his best time until this race was around 1:42 and he ran the Top of Utah in 1:38.  Racing is something we both really enjoy (I should clarify though that we aren't really racing, just participating).  Lately we have done a lot of running with a group of runners called the "Nibley Runners".  They are all people from Nibley who get together on Fridays and Saturdays for a run down the canyon or even just support each other on our Facebook group.  Before the Top of Utah we had a pre-race dinner with over 100 people (runners and their families) at Heritage Park.  It was a lot of fun and got us all pumped up for the race!
