Hale Freezes Over-10K. Initially when I found out about this race I was all eager to sign up and do it. Then I just sort of fizzled. I bought 3 season tickets to the Hale Theater at Christmastime and part of the sign up price for this race included 4 tickets to see a play. Well, I didn't need more tickets and I was also a little nervous about our unpredictable Utah weather and the possibility of it snowing and not wanting to face that. I thought I would just see how the morning looked and then decide. Well, I sort of overslept and then I dilly-dallied around the house and didn't get out of here until about 9:40 am. By the time I finally got out the door and ran to the Hale Theater the race had already started and all of the runners were gone. I was too late to sign up even if I wanted to. I decided to just go ahead and keep running anyway. I had already clocked almost 2 and 1/2 miles so I just continued running. Further on down the road I heard one of the volunteers who was directing people in which way to go shouted out "Go to Hale". I thought that was kind of funny and it actually made me laugh out loud. I then headed off into another direction and finished my own course (10K), heading to the local grocery store for a bathroom break and water. I headed on up to my neighborhood and was feeling pretty good. I continued to run up and down different streets in my part of town and then eventually headed for home. My total mileage ended up being 11 miles running and 1/2 mile walking. It was truly a gorgeous winter morning for an exhilarating run.

Sounds fun Miss SHEra!
You have so far passed me I will never catch up.
The weather was great for Hale Freezes over. I'm glad you were able to get your run in anyway. :)
I thought about doing that half at the Oval, it looks like fun. I totally hear ya on running being lonely sometimes. It's not easy doing it alone sometimes.
