In The Heights

My mom, sister, and I went to New York back in 2008. We went to "In The Heights" because it was on all of the billboards for winning the Tony Award that year. Glad we did. It was an incredible play. It came to Utah and my mom got us tickets. My niece, Makell enjoyed it as well. She was funny, every time the actors spoke in Spanish she wanted to know what they said. This was a great experience with my niece, mother, and sister.

TOP OF UTAH MARATHON FINISHER

I did it!

I finished a marathon...26.2 miles!!! I did it in 5:07 hours. My goal was less than five hours but I will take it. I loved the first 18 miles. My body was feeling great and miles 1-15 were downhill. My quads are feeling it today. I started feeling blisters near the end and around mile 22 my feet were just aching. I had to stop at an aid station and wrapped up my feet. I finished!!! My sister met me at mile 17 and ran the last 9 with me. That was refreshing and such a blessing. It renewed my energy and kept me going. Before this race I said I wouldn't do another marathon. Now, I would like to do the Ogden marathon. I will have to see. The training takes so much time but the marathon race made it worth it. I loved the experience. I did it!!!

 

 Amy and I chatted with this gentlemen. He has ran 333 marathons and the last few years has ran one a month. He said his favorite marathon was Disneyland. 

 Zazoosh needs to learn the do a down angle...that darn double chin. Even training for a marathon can't get rid of it.

Megan & Marissa - Rock stars!

Leanne & Erin - Running like crazy!

Thanks Amy for helping me finish this thing;) I love you!

26.2 in 2 days

I have run 5 half marathons and this year decided to run the Logan Top of Utah marathon. I've been training for six months and the race will start Saturday...ready or not. Here's hoping I will feel healthy, full of energy, and my feet will cooperate during the race. Amy, is going to meet me at mile 16 and run the last 10 with me. I sure love and respect her. She is a great sister and friend! I will need her energy and the distraction.

 

I am predicting to run the marathon in five hours or less. I ran 20 miles in 4 hours during a training run so I am hoping the race adrenaline and course will help me keep a faster pace. I have no time limit really...my goal is to finish.

Salt Lake Emigration Half

Megan, MJ, Marissa and I all came in minutes of each other. It was a great course! I loved the race after I summited Big Mountain...HILLS!!! Thanks Alicia for coming to support all of us.

Denece and I started playing softball back in 1998 but in 2002 she put together our team Not Too Serious. Players have come and left but there's a core group who have stuck together for 10 years. We finally took 1st. We had to play a bit too serious this year...well worth it!
