A Day in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City? Yep, Utah.  Love that place.  In order to knock out Idaho, and to keep our travel expenses under budget, we flew in to Salt Lake City. Had our flight not been delayed, we had planned on seeing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform.  It's kind of a big deal to see the Choir and their Thursday evening practice is open to the public.  Both Greg and I were pretty pumped about this, but we just couldn't get United to share in our excitement...go figure.

The next morning, before making our trek to Burley, Idaho, we managed to kill a few hours at Discovery Gateway, the kids museum in SLC.  What a wonderful place! Best of all, Bridget got to be treated to her kind of fun, rather than boring old adult fun.

Had to drag her out of the place...but we had packet pick-up and she had a 1-mile race to run!

Park City May Be My Favorite Course

The Park City Half Marathon may have been one of the hardest courses so far, and even though I didn't PR, it may still be my favorite race so far. The beauty of this town is amazing. I loved watching the sun come up over Olympic Park while waiting for the race to begin. The altitude didn't affect me as much as I feared and my toe (lacking a toenail which fell off Thursday-thank you Grandma's marathon for that memory) didn't hurt like I worried - a big sigh of relief. My unofficial time was 2:24:22 and I felt pretty good, except for my calves screaming at me due to 6+miles of climbing. I'll write more later, but right now I've got an amazing town to check out!
