Moab 1/2 Marathon Weekend Fun!

This is one of my favorite times of the year! John, Barry, Keith, Priscilla and I headed to Moab for the Canyonlands ½ marathon again! I definitely missed Paula, Dottie, John and the rest of the crew from 2009 but we managed to have a blast again this year! Last year I ran to the start with Keith and this year that was John’s fun! Barry and I raced the ½ and Priscilla raced the 5 miler! We had a great day although it was much colder at the finish than we are accustomed to so we headed back to the condo, ordered pizza and hung out in the backyard in the sun! It was awesome! Then we had to do some retail therapy in town…not too much damage…but enough. The entire weekend I was really jacked up because I was hoping for a job offer and I was so excited and stressed I needed to keep moving. This trip we also decided to stay through Monday so that we could really relax and enjoy Sunday all day! We all took our mountain bikes and Barry and Priscilla rented bikes…after a yummy breakfast at Jailhouse we rode our bikes out to Gemini Bridges! The ride started straight up hill and I was so proud of MP and Barry for making the climb! We all had a blast cruising through the sand and rocks and soaking up the beauty of Moab! The ride was incredible and we laughed, sweated and laughed some more! Thanks for a great weekend everyone! I can’t wait to go back to Moab next weekend!
