Top Five Races of 2018

RACE #180: Bountiful Handcart Days Half Marathon; July 21, 2018 (3:49:54) I can’t begin to describe what was going on in my head throughout the day, especially those last few yards. I was trying to process everything going on — while just being in the moment. Sure, this is an end to a goal, but there is so much more to look towards going forward. This race felt like a graduation day moe than a moment of finality or end. I’m moving forward to better things and I can’t be anymore excited! But, throughout the day I’ve just felt an immense amount of gratitude for not just a body that held up for seven years to do this, but for the friendships and experiences I’ve gained in the time has been the true blessing in this all. I felt spoiled and loved by so many throughout the day especially from Amanda, Lizzi, Jill and Trinity. Thank you doesn’t cut it. Oh yeah, the race itself — it was hot. It was miserable. But, it was fun. I had a running posse with me all 13.1 miles. That alone made it my favorite race yet! #race180 #handcartdayshalf #running @southdavisraces @trailsandpavement @joshruns180

RACE #177: Drop13 Big Cottonwood Half Marathon, June 9, 2018 (3:39:28) Words can’t even begin to properly convey my thoughts and feelings of today. I feel a deep sense of gratitude to not only be a runner, but to also be a member of this running community. Over the past seven years since I started this journey I’ve been able to have some amazing experiences. Today probably takes the cake. I might sound like a broken record telling this story, but it’s meant to be shared. I met Lizz a year (and eight days) ago at a luncheon I was speaking at for my alma mater (GO T-BIRDS!). She came to meet me even though she wasn’t an alum of SUU. Just like me, Lizz has anxiety, and for her to do something so out of the ordinary like that was completely out of her comfort zone. But, by a divine guiding hand, she made it to the luncheon and we met. Our paths were meant to cross. A year ago a half marathon — let alone a 5K — was nearly out of realm of possibility. Yet, here we are a year later and Lizz’s “impossible” is now reality. Not only is she now a half marathoner, but she’s lost over 100lbs., ran over 20+ 5Ks and 10Ks and changed herself inside and outside. I couldn’t be any prouder. This race today was just perfect. A big thank you to Joseph Coles for sleepless nights of prep for this race, for Amanda Condie Bjarnson who joined us for some of the difficult miles and kept us sufficiently distracted and the many, many, many of you who stopped to wish Lizz well on her journey. I started my journey by running alone and if I can keep that from happening to others … I will. That was part of the reason I surprised Lizz at the starting line. Plus, I told her I felt partially responsible for getting her into this mess by introducing her to the running world. Again congratulations on this accomplishment Lizz, I have no doubt this journey of yours is inspiring someone out there to change their impossible into reality. Because nothing is impossible and today was proof of that. #race177 #drop13halfmarathon #running @josherwalla @ketowalla @joshruns180

HALF #152: Revel Big Cottonwood Half Marathon; September 8, 2018 (2:56:26) I went into the race with many aspirations for a sub-2:40 finish. But, alas, that wasn’t the case. The first 8 miles were pretty magical and I was on pace for such a finish, but after fighting a chest cold the week prior I ended up throwing up after a nice little cough attack. That upset my stomach just enough to make me nausea to the point where I threw up three more times — including right in front of the finish line in a feeble attempt to get to the medic tent. I spent nearly an hour plus in the medic tent hooked up to an IV and sipping water next to Jill who had some fun cramping going on (she ended up PRing!). It wasn’t the most ideal ending, but I’m okay with it considering my time, my fitness and my experience with Jill and other friends. I’ll be back at it next year. I’m always back. I love this race. #half152 #race185 #runrevel #revelbigcottonwood #running @josherwalla.fit @josherwalla @josherwalla.run

RACE #178: Oquirrh Mountain Half Marathon; June 16, 2018 (2:50:27.2) An unexpected success! I got my sub-three! Janet and I came across at about 2:50.27 even! I couldn’t be happier with the time. The effort was there and it helped that Janet and I talked each other’s ears off. So much better than plugging my headphones in to distract myself. It’s hard to believe I’m two races away from my goal. It feels somewhat surreal. I’ve had my ups and downs, but I feel extremely blessed that my body has held up over the years. ONE. MORE. MONTH. TO. MY. GOAL. #drop13halfmarathon race178 #oquirrhmountainhalf @joshruns180

HALF #150: Run Elevated Half Marathon; August 18, 2018 (2:46:54) Crazy to think this was my 150th half marathon! It really doesn’t feel like I’ve been running that long, but seven years IS along time. I couldn’t have been happier with this race. I came into it worried about cutoffs and my pace. And, I came away not just meeting those goals but having a blast with my friend @amandabjarnson who ran the whole 13.1 with me. Besides coming away with those experiences I’m coming away with a big ‘ol blister on my left foot and one less toe nail. If I didn’t know the cause I would have guessed I contracted the leprosy. Very happy with my 2:46:54 time and I’m looking forward to another great race next week as I tackle the Nebo Half! I feel like I’m getting my mojo back baby! #runelevatedhalf #half150 #race183 #running @josherwalla @josherwalla.fit @josherwalla.run @josherwalla.bling

Top Five Race Medals of 2018

1) Handcart Days Half Marathon

As much as I love the Runtastic Events Trilogy Medal, this race medal is BY FAR my favorite medal of 2018. While, I do like the design, the meaning behind this race and the significance behind my journey means so, so much more. This race was a celebration of all of that with so many friends, it’s a moment I will forever remember.

2) Runtastic Events Trilogy Medal

The past couple of Trilogy Medals have been some of my favorite medals throughout my running journey. Not only are they HUGE and HEAVY, but I love that there is meaning behind each one with great design detail. For those not familiar with the Runtastic Trilogy medal, you get this medal for running at least three of their races over 13.1 miles. Totally worth the challenge!

3) Drop13 Big Cottonwood Half Marathon

Not only is this medal my favorite from the times I’ve done this race, but the story and experience means a lot to me. I surprised my friend Lizz at the start line since this was her first half marathon — and I ran the whole 13.1 miles alongside her. To make a long story short, I met Lizz a year prior and helped introduced her to the running world. A world where she’s caught fire! This was a great experience for not just her, but me as well — just being there to witness the moment.

4) Timp Half

I’m a Disneynerd. Always have, always will be. And, this has to be one of my favorite race medals just for the sheer fact that it reminds me of a Mary Blair piece of artwork. Mary Blair did a lot of design for Disneyland and the Walt Disney Company. If you don’t know who she is, look her work up and you’ll agree with my assessment on this medal.

5) Elephant Rock Trail Run

Last year this race’s medal as a rock. A very cool one. This year the race medal was just as cool with some awesome wood and rock work. I’m excited to see what the race comes up with in 2019! I’m sure it won’t disappoint!
