Written by Owen:<br />
<br />
I have never seen scenic beauty like I did on this trip. Alaska is amazingly beautiful. This trip was our High School Graduation gift to Michael. We got Michael and his friend, Leon, a trip to Alaska! Of course, while I was there, I had to knock Alaska off my marathon list.<br />
<br />
While planning for the trip, Michael surprised me and said he wanted to run the marathon. Our schedules got the better of us, and our training was very lacking. I decided I was going to walk for 30 seconds every 1/2 mile, and just soak in the beauty.<br />
<br />
Michael had a pretty bad cough on Thursday and Friday, so I was very nervous about him running a marathon. The race started, and he was gone, like out of a cannon.<br />
<br />
When I first saw Malissa, Michael, and Leon at about mile 20, they screamed at me that Michael took 2nd place overall! I couldn't believe it, it really provided a boost to get me that last 6 miles.<br />
<br />
After the race, we drove all over, hiked several trails and just soaked in the beauty. The weather didn't really cooperate, but the sun made a few appearances and we made the best of it. I'll let the pictures (and there are a lot of them) tell the story...<br />

We love the Peachtree Road Race. This year, Kyle and Malissa decided to stay at home while Michael, Ali, and I made a quick trip down to Atlanta to run. It was a really great (but fast) road trip. We left after I got off work on the 3rd, and were back home by dinner time on the 4th.<br />

<b>Thursday (Charlotte to NYC to Milford, CT):</b><br />
<br />
We had booked our flight for Thursday after work, arriving at LaGuardia at 10:30pm, where we would rent a car and drive to our hotel near West Haven, Connecticut. We had hoped we'd be in our beds shortly after midnight. Thursday afternoon, we got notified our flight would be delayed by an hour, then another hour, then another 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
So we didn't get to LaGuardia until almost midnight. Then the shuttle to the Hertz building took about 30 minutes to arrive, and another 15 to get to Hertz. We finally were in our rental at about 1:00am. It was dark, raining, I was really tired, there was construction everywhere and I was driving an unfamiliar (although REALLY nice) Chevrolet Impala. So getting out of the airport, onto I95, and to the hotel was very stressful. We finally were in our beds at a nice Holiday Inn Express in Milford, CT at 2:30 am.<br />

<b>Friday (Milford, Orange, New Haven, & West Haven, CT):</b><br />
We knew the <strike>free</strike> (included) breakfast only went until 9:30am, and I wasn't about to set an alarm after our 2:30am arrival. We woke up after 10:00am, so we showered and picked Cracker Barrel for our first meal of the trip, that way we could still eat breakfast.<br />

After brunch, our first stop was the <a href="https://us.pez.com/pages/hours-and-location" target="_blank">Pez museum</a>, featuring history, trivia & memorabilia related to the classic candy & dispensers. It was fun, we each bought our own Pez dispenser and lots of candy.<br />

My next choice to take the family was "<a href="https://www.itatjordans.com/" target="_blank">It Adventures Ropes Course</a>" in New Haven, CT. I didn't show the kids their website or tell them much about it, so their expectations were pretty low. We walked in there, the first attraction they saw was the small children's section, but then they saw everything else and were suddenly VERY excited. All three of them had a blast climbing the rope obstacles, ziplining back and forth, jumping down, and climbing up.</div>

After packet pickup, we drove to Target to get some supplies (most importantly, hand warmers). The temps were in the 30's, with very strong cold winds. Then we drove back to the hotel where the kids swam while Malissa and I relaxed.</div>

For dinner, we originally picked a local seafood place, but when we arrived we realized it was a seasonal restaurant and was closed for the season. So we decided on Olive Garden and had a great "carb up" meal.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because it is still so cold in Connecticut in March, the race start time was 8:00am, which is pretty unusually late for a marathon. It was really nice, though, because it made it so we could enjoy the breakfast at our hotel. We woke up at 6:00am, had breakfast at 6:30am, and headed to the start around 7:30am. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was very cold and windy, but no chance for rain, so I was happy. We waited together inside the conference center until just before the start.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For years this was only a half-marathon, then they decided to let marathoners in on the fun, they simply run two loops of the same course. That is definitely not ideal, but oh well. It does make it easy for the spectators. All Malissa and the kids had to do was watch me at the start, walk across the street to see me at mile 4, then back to the start to see me at mile 13.1, then back across the street for mile 17, then back for the finish.</div>

Because I was not anywhere near my ideal weight (+50 lbs, working on that), and because I wanted to be able to walk Sunday and Monday in New York, I set a goal of 4:30 which is a 10:18 pace. For the entire first loop I was just under that, but I knew I wouldn't be able to maintain it for the second loop. The hills at miles 7-9 were really steep. I knew I'd face those same hills at mile 20-22 and decided that I would walk up them on the second loop to save myself.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I saw the finish line at mile 13.1, I decided to run around it. Mentally I didn't want to cross under a finish line when I was only halfway done. As I did that, the race director on the megaphone said I had to cross it for the timing mat. I told him "no way". After the race, my results were not listed. I thought he had been petty and dq'd me for not crossing the halfway mat. Turns out, they had me listed in the half and were able to fix the results for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a good thing, too, because my watch's battery didn't make it and didn't save ANY of the data. I made the mistake of asking it to do too much for too long. It was playing music, broadcasting my location to my family, and logging my run via Strava, for over 4 hours. Yet another reason to get in shape and get my time down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The plan to walk up the hills on the second loop worked really well. I still had energy to run the flat parts and only cost myself nine minutes. I finished and went into the conference center for post-race food. They had "pre-race" food as the post-race food. Bagels and bananas, that's it. YUCK. That was disappointing. I couldn't force myself to eat that, so we left to go to my favorite post-marathon place: FIVE GUYS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was a fun race with excellent course support on a very cold day. The negatives were 1) the fact that most of the race was run on a shoulder of very busy roads with only the protection of a cone every 100 yards or so, 2) having to do the same thing twice, and 3) awful post-race food.</div>

For dinner we went to a place called "Seven Seas Restaurant". It in an Irish Pub, a really tiny place, but had great reviews that went on and on about their lobster roll. That's what I had, it was so good. It was on a delicious bun and had a ton of lobster meat. That's it, no celery, no mayonnaise, who needs that stuff? That's what Ali, Mike, and I got. Malissa had some delicious clam chowder. Kyle had the buffalo wings.</div>

While on the ferry, we were struggling to take a group photo where the entire family was in it, with the Statue of Liberty in the background. A lady offered to take the picture for us. It wasn't until way later we realized something was wrong...<br />

I had made reservations back in January, so we were able to get Crown access. The stairway was "normal" at first, but then we had to go up the tightest, most cramped, spiral staircase I've ever been on. Anyone with any level of claustrophobia should definitely not do this. It was tough, the day after a marathon, but very much worth it. You can't really tell from the picture, but there is an "up" and a "down" intertwined together. You couldn't see more than a couple feet in either direction.</div>

After we left Liberty Island, the ferry had a stop at Ellis Island. We were all too tired to get off the ferry, but I did snap one picture.</div>

Once the ferry returned us to Battery Park, we took a subway back to Times Square and checked into our hotel. After I checked in, we started to get on the elevator when Ali, who doesn't like elevators said "No way, I'm taking the escalator." I laughed and told her the escalators don't go up to the 33rd floor. She rode the elevator.</div>

After dinner we walked around Times Square, headed toward Adidas for Kyle to get some clothes he wanted, then walked to Rockefeller Plaza where Mike and Ali skated while Malissa, Kyle, and I watched. Malissa wanted to skate, but her foot injury had seriously flared up from all of the walking we've been doing.<br />

We took a subway back to the station nearest LaGuardia, took a Lyft to the airport, had dinner at the airport, and had a great flight back to Charlotte. While on the plane, I must have looked through the pictures we took on the trip 20 times. We made so many priceless memories.</div>

I really enjoyed this race. It was exactly one week before my marathon in Connecticut. So I had 8 miles on the training calendar. Because this is our neighborhood race, both Ali and I wanted to run it. So I decided to do both. I left my house at precisely the correct time so that I could run 5 miles and show up at the start of the race just when it was starting.<br />
<br />
Ali and Malissa drove to the race and picked up my bib for me. I got there just as they were singing the national anthem. <br />
<br />
My goal was to try and keep up with Ali. Because I was going to use this 5k as my qualifying time to get assigned a corral at the Peachtree 10k on July 4th in Atlanta, I wanted to finish with her so we'd run that race together (60,000 people run that race.)<br />
<br />
The race started and she was way ahead of me in no time. I tried to keep her in my sights. Slowly but surely over the next 2.5 miles I caught up with her. She had a really good kick at the end and beat me by 15 feet or so. Because she started before me, our chip time ended up being almost exactly the same (she beat me by half a second.) Mission accomplished!<br />
<br />
I love this race and hope to run it every year.<br />

Because I am writing this a year and a half after the race, I am going to let the pictures tell the story. I will say that the countless hours spent training with Michael for this race was an experience I wouldn't trade for anything.<br />
<br />
I am so thankful Michael was willing to slow down to my pace so we could run every footstep together. If he ever decides to run another marathon, I'll let him race and see what he can do, but for his first to be with me was really, really special.<br />

I am so far behind in writing my race recap blogs. This race was in April of 2017, and I am writing the recap in March of 2019 (almost two years later!) So the a lot of the details of this trip have faded. I will mostly let the pictures tell the story.<br />
<br />
Chris was originally scheduled to run the full, but transferred to the half-marathon due to some nagging injuries.<br />
<br />
We took a megabus from Charlotte to Atlanta.<br />

We stayed at an airbnb house in Vegas. It was just one small bedroom, with two twin beds, but it was really nice and very convenient.</div>

It was a beautiful, downhill course. The race went well. There were a couple of uphill sections near the end of the course that really slowed me down, but overall I was very happy with my time.</div>

The weather didn't cooperate for this race. Kyle was the only one in the family running it. He got a pretty bad cramp, but still enjoyed it.<br />

Michael's teammate, Austin won the race.<br />

Week 7 of 18 training is complete. Knowing I was going to post this helped me complete every prescribed workout:<br />

<br />
Week six of my 18 week Marathon training plan ended yesterday. It was my first perfect week (did every prescribed workout fully, no excuses) of this training cycle. For whatever reason, while training for my last four marathons, I have not done a very good job at sticking to the plan, so I have really suffered during the actual marathon.<br />
<br />
At the start of this cycle, I vowed to stick to it. After week 5, I realized I was falling back into the trap of making excuses to skip that workout.<br />
<br />
I am going to post my workout results at the end of each week, not to boast, but to hold myself accountable. If I know I have to post them, I WILL stick to it, and this marathon will be more enjoyable. I am in nowhere near the physical shape I used to be, so I won't set any records, but I will enjoy the marathon, which is why I do this in the first place.<br />

This trip was supposed to be a trip where both the Lillywhite's and the Griffith's all drove up to Baltimore for a fun weekend. Then we found out the Meck's Max Life Fall Retreat was the same weekend. So Chris and I drove up there by ourselves.<br />
<br />
<b>Friday, October 14, 2016:</b><br />
<br />
Chris picked me up and we started our trip North. About 2 hours into the trip I realized I had forgotten my wallet! That is the first time in my life I think I've left my house without it. I can't believe I did that. Chris had my back, though, he paid for everything and I paid him back when we got home.<br />
<br />
We got hungry about the time we were driving by my mom's old stompin' grounds. So we decided to eat at Chipotle. I snapped the following two pictures so I could show my mom where we were.<br />

</b> The race didn't start until 8:00 AM, so I didn't have to get up until 5:45 AM. I only got up that early so I could eat two hours before, which is a strict pre-marathon rule I have.<br />
<br />
We walked to Camden Yards, where the Orioles play, and where the start line was.<br />

My left ankle had been giving me problems during training. I turned it in a basketball game, ironically on the first day of my training cycle for this marathon. Right away I could tell it was going to be a problem. Plus, Chris was having major issues with his calf, but we powered through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The on-course support for this race, was phenomenal. My favorites were the Dunkin' Donuts mile and the multiple locations that offered full bags of chips (SALT!) for us to consume.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This race was pretty hilly. Chris and I had stuck to our long runs on the weekends, but that's about it, so we were seriously under-trained. We went into the race hoping to be under six hours, and knowing we'd be thrilled with a 5:15.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We kept knocking down the miles at about an 11:30 pace. At about mile 20, I realized we might be able to break 5:15. We kept powering through and with a couple of miles to go, we thought 5:10 might be achievable. It hurt really bad, but we both pushed each other and finished in 5:05:29.</div>

After the race, we went to Bubba Gump's for lunch/dinner. We ate enough to cover both meals. It was delicious.<br />

We got up, ate breakfast, and headed home. I watched football while Chris drove (I couldn't help out, as I didn't have my license). The Panthers played the Saints. It was a really exciting game that they unfortunately lost with a last-second field goal by New Orleans.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At each gas station we stopped at, I used Chris' umbrella as a cane because I couldn't put any weight on my left ankle. I am going to use this as motivation to really get physically fit, lose the weight, and properly train for my next marathon, which will be the Revel Rockies Mt. Charleston Marathon in April 2017, which finishes in Las Vegas, Nevada.</div>

Next up was the 5k that Michael was running. Grandma and Gramps even drove out to watch it, on their way to Florida for their big move.<br />

The picture below sums up this moment so perfectly. Michael had set a goal that was SUPER aggressive. His PR in the 5k was 19:02, but hadn't run one since before cross country when he broke his foot. Since then, he's recovered from his injury and had a very successful track season.<br />
This 5k is point to point, and net downhill. Not crazy downhill, and there is a very challenging uphill for the last 0.4 miles. He set his goal at 17:59. We kept saying how awesome it would be to say your PR was 17:59. I didn't say this, but I thought it was impossible.<br />
<br />
When I saw him round the corner with approximately 30 seconds to go, and the clock said 17:35, I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES. We cheered like crazy people. He kicked like I've never seen before. He crossed the line at 18:00. The official results list him at 18:00.8!<br />
Look at each of our faces in the background. I am so proud of him, this was a very special moment. (Thanks Jen for finding this awesome picture)<br />

Malissa had to work on Thursday and Friday, so the kids and I drove up to my mom's house on Thursday, then Malissa caught an Amtrak train at 2:00 in the morning on Saturday.<br />

I had heard such great things about the Marine Corps Marathon, that I couldn't wait to experience it. It was a complete DISASTER. The security lines to get to the marathon (for runners and spectators) was HOURS long. We got there over two hours before the race started, and I was late to the start. It had already started by the time I got there. So I spent two hours in line, followed by rushing to the start and just kept going for 26.2 miles. Not the way I wanted to prepare myself for the race. I can't understate how bad it was, NOT IMPRESSED!<br />

This race was very painful, I was grossly undertrained, and my pelvic issue throbbed the entire race. Add to that the bad weather and the terrible race organization, and this is definitely my least favorite marathon out of all of them.<br />

My friend, Chris, was signed up for the 2015 Chicago Marathon. This would be his first marathon. Because I'm trying to run a marathon in each of the 50 states, and I already ran Chicago, I thought it would be cool if I could find a marathon in a nearby state on the same weekend. That way we could do a road trip together.<br />
<br />
I wanted to find one on Saturday, because the Chicago Marathon was on Sunday. That way, I could run mine, then cheer for Chris in Chicago. The only nearby marathon I could find was the same day in a tiny town called Plover, Wisconsin. It was a small race (only had 22 finishers).<br />
<br />
We rented a tiny car to save on gas. When I picked it up and realized it didn't have cruise control, I was really disappointed. I didn't know they still made cars without cruise control. We left Thursday night with the plan to get a hotel when we got tired.<br />

Friday we got up and drove the rest of the way to Chicago. Chris had already made plans to share a room with his long-time friend, Pete. So I found a cheap place to stay on airbnb.com. It was actually a cot in someone's spare bedroom for $25/night.<br />
<br />
We did some sight-seeing, including going to the observation deck at the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower).<br />

When you go to the top of this amazing building, they have these glass cages that extend out and you can go out there and take pictures. Because it was marathon weekend, it was very crowded.<br />

Saturday night, I drove up to Plover, Wisconsin, where I had hotel reservations just for the night before the race. I got into town late, picked up my packet Sunday morning, and was ready to run.<br />

It was a beautiful day, I had really let my fitness slip, so I was just trying to casually run this, with no goal in mind. I was more concerned with Chris in Chicago. I had signed up for text alerts whenever he crossed timing mats. After the first one came in (I checked it while running), I immediately texted him "OMG, Chris, slow down!!". He was way ahead of schedule. I later learned he had airplane mode on so his battery wouldn't die while listening to music, so he didn't receive that text until after the race. He finished with some pretty bad knee pain but did great.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My race was very painful. You cannot fake your way through a marathon. It doesn't matter how many you've done, they each require proper training, nutrition, etc. I finished it, but it wasn't very enjoyable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the finish line, they had a local WWII vet putting the medal around the finisher's neck. That was by far the highlight of my day. Here is text of a Facebook post I posted after the marathon:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">Will Lehner is a WWII Veteran and Pearl Harbor Survivor. What an honor it was to meet him. He put my finisher's medal around my neck as I crossed the finish line. I saw there was no one finishing for a long time, so I asked if he minded talking. He told stories of Pearl Harbor and how he sunk a Japanese sub then went back 60 years later when they found it at the bottom of the Ocean. What a treat it was to spend 10 minutes with him.</span></div>

After the race I got in my rental car to drive back to Chicago. I stopped at a truck stop and paid for a shower. It was so nice, I will for sure do that again in the future if I ever need a shower after I've checked out of my hotel.<br />
<br />
On the way to Chicago, I stopped in Madison, Wisconsin to see if I could find some gifts for my family. Madison is a neat city with a really cool part of town that is great for souvenirs. I bought Malissa and the kids some University of Wisconsin tins. I went to Starbucks for my mom.<br />

I got back to Chris' hotel room late Sunday night. Chris and Pete offered for me to stay in their hotel room in a cot that room service provided. I was really thankful they did that. The room I was staying in was not in a good part of Chicago and I didn't feel very safe going there at night.<br />
<br />
Monday (Columbus Day) we drove back to Charlotte, where our families ambushed us with decorations, silly string, a cookie cake, and awesome matching shirts. It was a really fun weekend.<br />

My good friend, Corey Vigil, asked me to be one of his pacers for this race. Ultra-marathons are a whole new ball game, for which I had never had any experience. I was excited for the opportunity to help him achieve this unbelievably difficult goal.<br />
<br />
Not only is the race 100 miles, but it is 100 miles up and down mountains through Logan Canyon. Just look at this course profile:<br />

We had lunch at my favorite pizza place in the world, The Factory Pizzeria, in Logan, Utah. My dad would take me there several times a year when I was a kid and we would visit my sisters in Idaho.<br />

We started this trip off with a stop in Kentucky to see Grandma Phillips (Torre's mom), Aunt Robin, and Aunt Melody. We ate at a Mexican restaurant and had a really good (but short) visit.<br />

Monday morning (it was Labor Day) I got up early and walked to the start. I had really let my fitness slip, so I knew it was going to be a tough day. The heat, humidity, and hills made it for a really tough day. I started out in the 9 minute range per mile, then slipped to 10, and was in the 11's by the end.</div>

My family was supportive, as always, and I sure looked forward to seeing them multiple times. This was a smaller race, but was really well organized, and had the most amazing support people. There were some people that I saw 7 or 8 different times handing out supplies, wet towels, etc. They would hand them out, then drive forward a few miles and do that over and over again.</div>

I am so far behind on blog entries, that I am going to have to let the pictures tell the story for the most part. This trip was so much fun, along with the most driving I've ever done in such a short period of time.<br />
<br />
To save money, we decided to drive to Denver, Colorado, from Charlotte, North Carolina. Plane tickets for five people was just too much. So we rented a car and did the long trip. We were gone a week, but four solid days of that was nothing but driving. <br />
<br />
Thursday, we drove from Charlotte to Warrenton, Missouri. It was such a long drive, when we finally got there, I couldn't believe we had that long to drive the next day as well.<br />

Friday, we drove from Warrenton, Missouri to Denver. Along the way we stopped and had a great meal with Malissa's friend, Jen, from when she lived in Yuba City, California in high school.<br />

Late Friday, we finally made it to Denver! It was such a long drive, but so worth it. We met our great friends Jay and Aimee Fass, who drove from Clinton, Utah to meet us there for the weekend. Their daughter Malya is Alicia's very good friend.<br />

On Saturday, the boys (Michael, Kyle, Jay, and myself) got up and went to the expo to pickup my race packet. While we were doing that, the girls (Malissa, Aimee, Alicia, and Malya) went to get their nails done.<br />

Sunday morning I woke up very, very early. Malissa drove me to where the shuttle would take me to the start. I got there as the first shuttles were opening their doors and got on one.<br />
<br />
The shuttle took us up the mountain, and after a while the bus driver announced he was lost. We were in the mountains, nobody had a signal on their phones, and the road was way too skinny to turn around. We came upon a "Road Closed" sign. The driver and a few runners got off the bus to go look ahead of the sign, and realized it was there to prevent traffic from driving on the course. So they moved the sign and we got back on the right track and made it to the start.<br />
<br />
Once I was at the start we waited for 6:00 am to get here, which was the scheduled start time. They announced they were having some shuttle problems and the race would be delayed. Come to find out, the shuttle company didn't send enough, so the last 100 or so marathon runners didn't make it and most of the half-marathon runners didn't get to run. I couldn't believe it. With all that goes into training for a race, and traveling, I couldn't imagine if I was one of those that didn't get to run.<br />

I had set a pretty foolish goal to try and break 3 hours in this race, but I knew going into it, that was out of the question. It was an all downhill course, but I wasn't fit enough to run that fast for 26.2 miles. So I just ran.<br />

At about mile 13, my ankle really started to bother me. The road had left to right slope, so my ankles were always at a weird angle. With the downhill pounding, it really started to take a toll. I had to run/walk. My watch was set to beep every half-mile so I would try to make it to the next beep, then walk for 30 seconds or so.</div>

It started raining as we were waiting for the start. As Alicia and I were about mile 1, the lightning and thunder started. We finished the race as normal, in the rain. Come to find out, Malissa and Kyle, who started in a corral behind us, were forced to take shelter in the nearby mall. So they got a very late start and ran in worse weather than we did.</div>

While staying at Michael's neighbor's house, we fell in love with one of their dogs. She was so sweet and always wanted to be in our lap. Michael said his neighbor was actually looking for a new home for her. We very seriously considered it, but made the difficult decision that we needed to stay a one-dog family.<br />

I think this is the first race ever where I have no photographic evidence that a race took place. I drove down to do this race by myself and failed to take even a single selfie.<br />
<br />
This was a small race which was a 5k/10k. The bibs were the same and the starting line and start time were the same for both races. There was a turnoff point at about a half-mile where the 5k'ers turned off. So until that point, I had no idea I was in the lead of the 10k. I watched every runner in front of me peel off.<br />
<br />
I looked behind me and I was distancing myself from everyone. The car showing the way was actually for me. That had never happened before. I led all the way until about mile 5, then started to run out of gas. A couple of guys passed me with about a half-mile to go.<br />
<br />
It was a pretty fun experience leading a race, and the course was beautiful. Much hillier than I had planned for, though. There was no course map so I had no idea what to expect.<br />

This was a really fun race. I registered late for this race, which meant the Ridgecrest Conference Center rooms were all booked already. So I got a room at a nearby Super 8.<br />
<br />
Michael and I went on this trip with our good friends, the Griffiths. They had a room at the conference center. <br />
<br />
I had a booth at the expo for Taz Running, making pace tattoos for the runners. It went really well and the runners liked it.<br />
<br />
My goal for the race was to PR and to practice running fast downhill in preparation for the Revel Rockies Marathon in a little over a month. My previous half-marathon PR was 1:32:28, which I set at another nearby downhill half marathon, <a href="http://lillywhiterunning.blogspot.com/2013/07/2013-scream-half-marathon.html">The Scream</a>.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed this race. It starts out on roads and is up and down for the first four miles. Then it moves to packed dirt and winds down a canyon, drastically downhill.<br />
<br />
I beat my PR by over three minutes and took first in my age group (only because Chris's friend Pete won a masters award so he was removed from my age division).<br />

Going in to this race, Michael's goal was to beat the family 5k record, which I held at 19:18. Michael's PR at the time was 19:43 from almost three years earlier.<br />
<br />
It was quite hot, so I wasn't sure it was a good night for it, but he clipped the line at 19:17, beating the family record by one second!<br />
<br />
He took 1st out of 53 kids 14 & under.<br />

We took this overnight trip, just the two of us. It was fun to get away and run this beautiful out and back course that goes from Georgia, to South Carolina, and back, crossing over the Lake Hartwell Dam.<br />
<br />
My goal was to PR, I was trying to improve my fitness in preparation for the Revel Rockies Marathon. Malissa's goal was to enjoy another beautiful 10k.<br />
<br />
In order to PR, my splits needed to average sub 7 minutes. It was really tough, but I did it. As of the date I am writing this (7/3/16), this is still my 10k PR.<br />

Michael had a side cramp, which is why his time was so much slower. Plus, it rained. That's about all I remember. </div>
