Oh how I love me some ROAD TRIP action! And this Road Trip did not disappoint!
Jeff and I left Thursday night after work making it to Grand Junction, CO where we stayed the night. We stayed at the same hotel and ate dinner at Enzo’s Italian restaurant, just as we had done in June on our way to the Utah Valley Marathon. We had a good night’s rest 2 nights before the marathon, which is what I hear is most important.
Friday morning we got up early and continued on our Road Trip, deciding to take 70 west to I-89 South for a more scenic route through Utah. We stopped often to stretch, soak in the views (or a geology lesson), walk the dogs and move (or jump) around.
We have been wanting to check out Zion National Park and were able to drive through this time of year (during the summer and early fall they don’t allow personal vehicles to drive through). I cannot wait to get to go back and spend more time at Zion NP!
And of course we got in some more fun jump photos……
And some really ridiculous jump photos…. do not ask what the heck we were doing, but at the time it was hysterical.
And if you were ever wondering what a close up of our facial expressions look like….
Our drive on Friday ended with driving the marathon course that we would be running on Saturday morning. We tried to stay positive that it was PR/BQ friendly, but it looked tough.
After picking up our race numbers (highly disorganized), we ate dinner and went to bed.
Marathon #10 for both of us on Saturday November 17, race recap to follow….
