Yes this is my first entry and yes my race was awhile ago, but it took me a little while to figure this all out.

 I recently ran a half marathon in St. George.  I have ran 5 of them and this one was by far the funnest!  It was my first time running with someone and I think that made all the difference.

It was my slowest, which I was not happy about, but my friend knee was really hurting her so we had to slow down and I didn't feel like I could leave her(it was her first).

I am gearing up to start training for Grandmas Marathon in june.  It is a marathon I tried running before but had to bailout at mile 19 because I was pregnant and wasn't feeling right. It has always bugged me that I have never finished so I am going back to finished what I started!!!

I am just reading this, but I have to commend you for sticking with your friend on this race---that is what running is about! It is not about the times but the friendship and the camaraderie. I have yet to run Painters for myself but have thoroughly enjoyed pacing others and helping them with their first half marathon experience!
