13.1 miles, a half marathon, 1 hour, 33 minutes, 13 seconds. On Saturday, 7/18 Ian and I ran from Ruby's Inn at Bryce canyon down Highway 12 to the Cannonville town park. Having been training for some time now, I am in decent physical condition. I do not own a watch, and my running has simply been for enjoyment. I have not been pushing myself and I really had no idea how fast I would run the Bryce Canyon Half Marathon. My goals were to finish, and to be close to Ian. Arising at 5:10 am from the slumber of my sleeping bag I made the curcial error of eating a banana and drinking way too much orange juice immediately before the race. Needless to say, my stomach was unsettled during the run. I came in 4 and a half minutes behind Ian's time of 1:28:46.0. Lesson: Don't mess with a training routine that is working. I never eat or drink before running in the morning with Vita. When the marathon comes around in October, don't overindulge.
