I can't even think of anything I like to do that I'd want to do for 3 hours!

This was my mom's response when I told her that I wanted to train for a half-marathon. My friend, Wendee, and I decided that we'd speed walk the Top of Utah Half Marathon. I trained for a couple of months. It was great to have something to work towards. The race was great! There weren't many walkers, so we came in close to last. But we didn't have any problems finishing it. We finished in 2 hours, 53 minutes. That was an average of 4.5 miles an hour!
