Majestic Outdoor Aerobic Benchmark

Moab Half-Marathon: Done and done. :)

You'll notice that I've turned the word Moab into an acronym for this blog post. Yes, MOAB now means something entirely new to me. I LOVE Moab, and now not just because of the great eats at the Moab Diner, or the romantic red rock that woos the poet lurking in my heart. I love Moab because that's where I completed a major exercise milestone that has been tugging at the back of my mind for years, yes, YEARS. Yesterday I covered the entire 13.1 mile distance of the Canyonlands Half-Marathon. I started and finished the race. Whee!

I believe there will be marathons in my future. I don't know when or where, but there will be marathons. It might take a while to work up to them, but I will take part in at least one marathon in my lifetime.

That's all.

Oh yeah, and thanks to all of you who gave me words of support and enthusiasm before and after this race. You rock!
