I just ran the Hobble Creek 1/2 marathon and it's true what they say, it is a quick run with gently rolling down hill stretches and the spectacular scenery of the nearby Wasatch Mountains. I got to witness the beautiful scenery up close and personal at about mile 8.6 with a little detour into the woods that HAD to be made right then and there if ya know what I mean......which I feel threw me off and got me out of a groove. If you are a runner you know that minutes lost in running are hard to get back and most likely you won't. I wanted to go back to the starting line and start over. But I slugged through it and finished.
My official time was 1:42, 12th place out of 76 women in my age group. They handed me a small little medal in a package as I crossed the finish and had no idea what it even was and I misplaced it somewhere between catching my breath at finish and downing a chocolate milk. I just thought it was something that they were giving out to all runners but I later learned that top overall 100 men and women recieved a special "Elite 100" medallion. So thats kind of cool, whoops!! My experience was okay but I will definitely be signing up next year with smarter eating the day before and some possible Imodium maybe ;) 
And this lady in the green is Cassidy. She is the one who introduced me to pump like 4 years ago and it completely saved me and my time spent at the gym. I love the class with a passion!!!! and Cassidy is a crazy fast runner. She took 3rd in our age group and finished the race in........1:28, are you kidding me?! Maybe one day I will be as fast as her, bahahahaha!!! p.s. she had a baby 8 months ago too. Um yeah, she is turbo!
Next on the list is the 187 mile two day running adventure!!
September 9th and 10th

Wow, you guys are amazing! I told all my running buddies out here about how fast you guys are. It is good motivation, especially considering that you both have babies younger than mine :(
Good Luck with Red Rock! Sounds so fun!
You are amazing! I love the fact that no matter how good you do you are mad that you didn't do better. You are a major inspiration for me. I'm so excited/nervous/scared for Red Rock but it will be a lot of fun.
