Temple to Temple 1/2 Marathon


Brooke and Whit's idea of a Draper Temple to Orquirrh Temple 1/2 marathon actually worked. We were very grateful to the support team...that would be Brooke's friend, Holly, Linsey...that would be Whit's sister and Julie...that would be Whit's mum. Kim and I got a little lost at the under the Bangarter Hwy pass and did an extra long loop before finding our way across. It was a beautiful morning to head up to the Draper temple and see the view of Salt Lake valley. We ran with Brooke, Whit, Lamar, Greg, Hillary, and Alicia. The weather was quite perfect and the run to the Orquirrh temple seemed quite fitting as a test for those that didn't really prepare. I ran a 10k because I was supposed to help with water but never made it in time as I was the last person. Kim speeded up and made good time once he didn't have to make sure that I wouldn't get lost and ran an extra mile to the 1/2 because of the detour. It was a happy reunion at the end! The one for next year is already in the works and I think we might train a little harder!
