I ran the American Fork Canyon half marathon yesterday. I was so happy I was able to do it. I had been training really hard to get my PR(personal record) time this half marathon. 3 weeks ago I was disabled by debilitating back pain due to 2 herniated disc. I got a cortisone shot in my back and did physical therapy. One week before the race was my first run post injury. I had to take 2 1/2 weeks off of running right before the race. I was devastated at first that I might not be able to run the race. My back recovered just in time to race. I really tried not to set my heart on getting my PR due to my injury but being my competitive self I couldn't let it go. My goal was 1:55 or faster. I was able to finish in 1:53. I ran it with some friends in my ward. It was a lot of run. The race is so well put together. After the race we went and got pedicures. It was a great day. I love the feeling post race or accomplishing my goal! My crazy mind actually considered doing a full marathon again. We will see though.
