skinny runner and a race recap

skinny runner is giving away some serious loot on her blog.

i'm entering to win.

part of the deal is i need to blog about the giveaway.

i don't typically do this sort of thing but, skinny runner is one of my favorite blogs.  she's an amazing runner who also has quite the personality.  she's inspiring,  she's funny and i think it's super awesome that she takes so many pictures of herself. seriously.

cheesy?  

it's true.  i really like skinny runner and i don't even know her.

okay, so, now that is taken care of.  would you like to see a photo from my race on saturday?

i ran the riverton 1/2 marathon.  it's a small race but, it's fun. the race organizers do a great job. 

i bought these running tights a couple of months ago and they're too big so they fall down around my waist which is super uncomfortable and, after seeing this photo, not very attractive.  also not attractive is the way i fling my left hand when i run.

whatever.

it was a good run on a familiar course (we run this same loop every saturday).

my finish time was 1:53.  a few minutes faster than last year.  

on april 16th i'll run the salt lake 1/2 marathon.  i'm hoping the weather will be decent.  i'm over this wind and this cold!  the salt lake 1/2 is mostly downhill so i'm also hoping for a better time.  no repeat of last years emergency carls jr. bathroom break at mile 11.
