A day running the city of Salt Lake



















I decided to get ready to run a half marathon. I know that running is not what I enjoy doing but it is a good way to get in shape. On Friday April 15, after I got my packet, I went out to eat pasta and got to bed early. On April 16, I woke up early to drive from Lehi to the gateway where the race ends and where people park to find the shuttle that takes you to the start line. I started following a group of people that had a number on their shirt thinking that they were going to the race just to find out that they were the fans from a radio station. I then realized that I was in the wrong place and needed to take the trax so I run as fast as I could to get take the train but I got 10 minutes too late and the race had started. I didn't stretch and that caused me to get a bad hamstring strain. It was very painful. It happened right at the start of the race, so all I could do was to walk. It was the longest 13.1 mile walk ever but I did it.
