HAULIN' ASPEN 2012


Our 3rd Haulin' Aspen race was so much fun! By fun, I mean that it was fun when the torture of the race was over... I have to admit that I was not prepared for this one. Thankfully, a few months before the race I decided to downgrade from a marathon to a 1/2 marathon. Even still, I was sorely regretting the one-run-a-week prep while struggling up the LONGEST hill, miles 5-7. It was also quite hot, which made the run even more challenging.
The finish line a welcome sight, with a great cheering section, good food and a cool stream to soak our feet in. I was proud of each person in our group for finishing, especially Sherisa who ran her FIRST race ever! Thank you to our support crew; Broc, Emmarie, Mom, Dad, Pepper, and Nikki.
I am already excited about next year's race. You should meet us there, the first weekend in August, 2013!

Thank you to Sherisa for the following pictures.

Aaron is so jaunty after 13 miles!
