St George??????

So we had a great Lake Powell trip, at some point I will get some pics on the family blog, but there is a little kink in my St. George Marathon plans---The first day we were on the lake I stepped out on the swim deck and twisted my ankle, I'm pretty sure I heard a pop too.  It hurt like crazy, but in all the craziness of the day I really couldn't pay much attention to it.  I was determined not to complain about it because I really didn't want to go get it checked, I had to try out the new wakeboard.  The new wakeboard is great, fun times, but my ankle is still looking not so good almost a week later.  It doesn't hurt that much, just enough to remind me about it, but it's still pretty bruised and swollen, I'm not sure about 26.2.  I guess there's still enough time to decide later. :(

Training Wheels Off

Hey family, I finally took the training wheels off my wakeboard last week!!  I can't wait to see everyone.  I got a new girlie board for the girls---(Kyle and Kael too, but shh...about the girlie part).

Smiley

I hiked two miles of Smiley this morning with Kyle, I kept up very well, I'm quite proud of myself.  Not mentioning the fact that he had a forty pound backpack on, and me.....well even my water bottle was in his backpack!!  It was a nice walk--have you been up Smiley, not Smiley Heights, Smiley that's out in the canyon, don't less this pretty little section of road fool you, the wicked thing is straight up.  I only went up two cause I had an appointment at 9:00 to get my hair done, so even so I ran part of the way down, good St. G training.  Next time probably forty more pounds in his pack, he's getting ready for NOLS Patagonia, and I will hike the whole thing.  2014 is on--starting now-- I've got to finish my business.

Events....

Sometimes when I see upcoming events that I have particpated in I think to myself, "Oh, I should be doing that."  Remember ______________________________________, insert whatever, that happened at that event.  Right now I am getting daily tips of the day for the upcoming Utah Valley Marathon.  Now this was not one of my favorite events, but since Bri has a history with the organization, and we got to visit family, in retrospect I think.....why didn't we register!!!  Ok, reality check, yes we already have too much on the June calendar.  Oh and even bigger reality check, my running mileage is no bueno.  But still...maybe next year?  Anyone want to do it with me next year, whole or half?

Lottery Results up on Monday

I know, we're guaranteed!  So I really don't need to sweat the results, but, it makes it all the more real to see your name there and know now it's time to get to work!!!

Spectrum 10K

 

 

Yay, we did it! We finished the Runners Series, Brent says we just have one more picture to add to our series, the St. G. marathon pic! It was a gorgeous run through Snow Canyon, Kerri poked along with me so I got to enjoy the conversation, Brent won his age division, and Kerri won a bag!

 

 

 

 

 

I found this on St George Races fb page, that's Ker and me in the background!

Spectrum 10K on the schedule

Ha, I went to Google images to find a cool logo or something for the Spectrum 10K post and look what popped up!!!  I think this was 2011 when Kev and I made a crazy trip to St. G.  He picked me up from the cabin at some terrible time in the morning and we got our second race done.  This year no Kev, I'll be missing you big son, this year it's Kerri, Brent and me.  Race number 2 is on the schedule, then we'll have our Runners Series done.  I know I ask myself this all the time, but tell me again, "Why do we do this?"
