Personal:

I started running at age 40 (14 years ago!) I am married to Harold, he is a super supportive husband and we enjoy running and biking the trails along the Wasatch Front together. Between us we have 7 children and 9 grandchildren. I am really having fun trying new races in scenic parts of Utah, I am a newbie in the ultrarunning world, I am slow, but love everything about it! I have a lot to learn,but I am enjoying the journey.

Race: Halloween Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 02:39:58, Place in age division: 19

Total Distance

13.10

First of all packet pick-up stunk. I really hope they get their act together because the race was a blast. Harold drove Maurine and I to the start because we were afraid the bus scene might be a nightmare, not sure how that went, but we got to the start line and sat in the warm car until the race started. Thank you dear husband. Loved the course and all the fun costumes! I ran with Maurine until mile 10 and then started to get tired, she went on to finish 5 minutes a head of me. Love the crisp cold air, and party atmosphere!!! Please get it right next year, and have a packet pick up in SLC!!!

Nice job, it was a fun race. Did you happen to notice the Race Director was wearing a side arm? I don't think it was part of his costume.

+1 for a packet pick up in SLC -- especially with that traffic. WILD.

nice job today, leslie. glad you had fun!

MAYBE the traffic will be over by next year? Dang construction!

MISSED SEEING YOU, you little devils off hiding in a car.

It was a fun race! I am sure they will do everything in their power to get it right next year, it is such a great event.

Kelli, I wish I had bumped into you. The warm car was a real treat!

Sounds like you and Maurine had a fun time! The traffic will be better; and they'd better do something about the packet pick up or the goblins are gonna get'em. :)

GOOD JOB on another fun race, girlfriend! :) Hope I see you at Mesquite! :)
