Ogden Half Marathon LR...
Spent the night at the Van Beekum's last night. Always appreciate their hospitality along with the rest of the Ogden Crew. Watched Unbroken with Riley, Dave and Ben last night and then hit the sack. Early morning and not a lot of sleep but we were on our way. Ben and his friend Allen and I all rode up in a police escort courstey of Ben's Dad. I stayed in the car til about 10 minutes before start. Got out and found a secret bathroom and then ran around a little over a 1/4 mile to the start to just wu if you wanna call it that.
No real plans today except that I wanted to jog the course. I signed up for the full last september so I had a full bib on and then just did not put my timing chip on. Race took off and immediately we are running in the rain. It rained the entire time. I just decided I would go out really easy and then settle into a pace that was a comfortable jog. 7:40 pace felt comfortable the whole time so I just focused on getting a good run in. Finished the run in 1:40.
Gotta lot of work to do to lose weight and gain the fitness but today was fun. Great to see so many fun faces and cool peeps. Got hpothermia about an hour later. Had to get wrapped in blankets and foil for about 20 minutes. Pretty interesting experience. Don't recommend hypothermia. Good week again. MIH
