St George 1/2 marathon

I totally forgot to post about this back in January! Towards the end of January my 2 running buddies and I ventured down to St George and ran a half marathon down there. The weather was warm and beautiful and we were all very happy to leave the snow and cold. The course was a little messed up due to some flooding in the area, but overall it was very beautiful there. We left Friday afternoon and checked into our hotel around 5 and then went to the race expo, got our race packets, and then went to dinner to carb load at the Pizza Factory. We had a hard time sleeping that night (due to nerves before the race, sleeping in beds that weren't our normal ones, and just having fun girl time without kids around), but were still able to be up early and out the door for the race. We ran the race and then went right back to our hotel room to shower and then checked out and went to lunch and did some shopping before hitting the road to come home. It was a quick trip, but lots of fun to get away with my running buddies. For some reason blogger won't let me upload the photos I have of us down there, so all I have is the pic of my race bib and medal.
