half marathon

Women's-only road race should be a goodie

If it's all about presentation, then the Thelma & Louise Half Marathon will surely be a blockbuster.

The new all-women's road race, set for May 12 (Mother's Day weekend) in Moab, is expected to draw more than 1,000 women and will benefit a local women's shelter and girls running programs.

Yes, now I know I can do anything I set my mind to

After months of training, the day of my half marathon had arrived.

I'm not quite sure how to describe my exact emotions but I was beyond excited. A long time ago, I wrote a goal list of things to do with my life like graduate from college, get married, watch all the Harry Potter movies without a break -- and run a half marathon.

Yet I never really thought I could do the race. I didn't think I was brave enough, strong enough or determined enough. Well, I guess it's safe to say I proved myself wrong.

The April morning dawned dreary and rainy.
