Hobble Creek Half Marathon

Hobble Creek canyon is in Springville, Utah and it is gorgeous this time of year. I haven't done many races close to home; It seems like I always choose races that are far away so the Hobble Half was nice.
The course seemed a bit harder than I had anticipated. The last 5 miles had quite a few more hills than I thought and since they were at the end, they were a bit tougher. For sure, the Moab Half Marathon course is easier than this one.
Overall, the race was tons of fun. I saw a lot of people that I knew out on the course and Brandon was at the finish!

Connie! you did awesome! I'm impressed you did this all by your lonesome! There is no way I could keep that pace running 13 miles!! ..So brown trout is pretty fishy.. But I grew up on fishy tastin fish so I actually enjoy it! You guys should hike up to the caves. They are really neat!

So, I actually bought my swimming suit online. But there is a spa in American Fork I think that sells them. so I went and tried them on before I left. I would have bought it there, but they didn't have my size. I only tried on an extra small and a large. So I kinda guessed and went with a med. Good thing it turned out! Anyway, I don't know if they still have them there but ask Joni. She'll remember the name of the spa if you're still interested! :)
