Success Stories
I finished the race in 2 hours 24.
Along the course I bumped into a guy who was about the same age as me who was also running for PSP, after a while of keeping pace with each other he dropped back at around the 10 miles mark. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect finish, with about 100m to go I felt a hand on my back to turn and find him running next to me once again so we were able to cross the finish line together.

I've always had a love-hate relationship with running but I wanted to give it a try. It sounded challenging but doable so I asked my boyfriend if he would run with me. We went to Stuttgart, did the race, and I have to say I absolutely did not enjoy it. I've noticed that it is important for me to run in a setting that's pleasant to look at. Stuttgart was a little bit too unexciting for me and since I get bored in my head very easily, it soon started to feel like torture. I learned from this experience that you should run with people You know are fun to run with, that you should choose an interesting place to run (new city for example), and that you should take the training for a half marathon seriously. It did not help me to only run 15 k in training. I should have run longer distances even though it is said that that's not necessary.
I ran the American Fork Half Marathon in 2016 with my good friend and coworker, Kevin Harvie. I ran too fast on the first 6-7 miles of downhill and was a little tire by the time I got to the flat section. My goal was under 2 hrs (was secretly hoping for 1:40-ish, but finished at about 1:55. In fact, I haven't thought about this in years, but we ended up on the last bus up the canyon to the starting point and for some reason they almost didn't send one back for us (in spite of us being well ahead of the deadline). Luckily, we got on that bus (which was also about 20-30 minutes later than scheduled.
