On Saturday I ran in the Salt Lake City half marathon. It was my first time to run in this particular race and it was so beautiful. I got to see so many parts of the area that I haven't really seen before. The weather was perfect and the hills weren't too bad (which for Utah is great) and I came in 9 minutes under my goal time! I had so much fun, I always love all the random people lining the streets to cheer you on. Aaron just followed me around and met me every few miles where I would run by give him a high five and keep on going. He was so great. Then we partied at the finish line with more food than you can imagine. I felt like a wimp when we split from the marathon runners but then at the finish line couldn't of been happier that I didn't have another 13.1 miles to go!Here we are at the post-run party. (Notice the chocolate milk in our hands and Aaron's stuffed pockets with cookies, granola bars, etc. )
This is right after I crossed the finish line and found Aaron.

Dang girl! That is so impressive! People like me can only dream of running a half marathon. Way to go!!
Oh my congrats! I am so blown away by marathon-y people. How you can run that long is beyond me...I brag all day long if I do 2 miles on the treadmill. And then I call it good for a month. Way to go Haley!
And that would so be logan stuffing his pockets too...love it!
GO Haley! VERY impressive girl. The longest I've ever run is 6 miles and I felt like an olympic runner. Evan always runs a race in October and I LOVE all the food afterwards. Ps - I like Ethan too but shock of all shocks, Evan's nixed that one too... :)
YAY!! Good for you!!! Doesn't it feel soo good to run in a marathon!! I just ran a 5k last year-but it felt great!!
Nice job, crazy runner! I want to run in a half marathon sometime...but I don't think I'll ever want to do a whole marathon. Maybe when I get inspired like my mom when I'm 50. Eh probably not.
Wow you're so athletic. I've always wanted to run a half marathon, even a 5K. But I like to have a running buddy & no one I know is into that sort of thing. I'll have to be more independent!
Wow Haley!!!!! You are amazing! Is there anything that you don't do??! I'm so impressed!!
Haley! I am so excited that you guys have a blog! I just emailed Aaron the other day saying how I'm going to miss you two since you're moving to Texas!
And I wish I would have seen you at the half marathon! My older sister ran in it so I was there with her husband and kids cheering her on.
