Order in which state was admitted into the union: 45
On a
blue field, appears the state seal. In the center of the
seal is a beehive, the state emblem, with a sego lily growing on either side.
The sego lily stands for peace. The state motto "Industry" means
steady effort. A national flag shows that Utah supports the United States. The
eagle stands for protection in peace and war. The date 1847 represents the year
that Brigham Young led a group of people to the Salt Lake Valley to reestablish
in Utah, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, also know as The
Mormons. The date 1896 represents the year that Utah gained admission to the
Union of the United States.

Race: Canyonlands Half Marathon

Two weeks after running in hilly Little Rock, I ran in mountains and canyons in southeast Utah.
Highlights of the trip:
- Visited and hiked in both Canyonlands and Arches National Parks
- Saw (and used) a porta urinal hexagonal shaped porta potty pre race
- Toured Salt Lake City the day before my return flight seeing the Mormon Tabernacle Organ
- Managed to maintain by sub 2:00 half marathon streak coming within a minute of hitting 2:00
