Salt Lake Half Marathon


So, I've always wanted to participate in a race while being big and pregnant. So I signed up for the Salt Lake Half Marathon.  Last year Denise, Shawna, and I ran it in really good time, but this year there was no way I could run so they walked it with me.  I have a lot more respect for marathon walkers. My feet hurt worse after this than they do after a half marathon. Denise had the biggest blisters I have ever seen.  It was really important for me to walk in this so Thank You so much Denise and Shawna for helping me through it!

It was fun to see you guys come in - I have a short video clip of you walking across the finish line (not really that dramatic) - we should have gotten pictures of the blisters -that would have commanded more respect!

Heidi, You are impressive! Even when you don't run you walk and do it anyways!!! Way to go!!! My sister, Amy, ran the marathon. I met her a mile 23 and finished it with her. It was a blast! I can see why you keep doing races. The energy and rush is amazing. Love ya, V

Heidi, So, we still really need to get together. I'm sorry it's been so long. I am actually pregnant and on bed rest right now so I guess that's some kind of excuse. I am so impressed that you did this race, that is awesome, I am really missing running (and walking). Our blog is www.heilnerfamily.com.
