I Did It!

Over the weekend I completed the 2010 Canyonlands Half Marathon in Moab Utah. I finished with an average of just above a 9 min mile. I had such I good time and met some friends a long the way. It was also a fun girls trip for my mom and I. I hope I can do it again someday.

Getting ready to start. It's tradition for me to take this picture before a race, but don't worry I really didn't think I would be number one, But I did place with in the first couple thousand out of about 5,000 racers.

Jake's cousin Marie, her friend Meghan, and me. I'm so glad I found these girls at the beginning of the race. It was nice to start it out with some friends
The run was beautiful! I kept telling random people how pretty it was and I would pull out my camera to take pictures (and yes I was running while taking these, I don't think I ever stopped to walk in fear that I wouldn't start up again)


8 miles gone and I feel great!


Near the end of the canyon

A very nice man saw me taking pictures so he offered to take a picture of me so I could document that I was actually there. I love how nice everyone was.


I Did it!!! 13.1 miles! Near the end I thought I was going to pass out but I made it and I felt great! Just kidding I really felt horrible, physically, but emotional I was great!

To treat myself I got a pedicure and new sandals afterwards, sooo worth it!!!

Can't forget that my mom was with me, cheering me on at the finish line. She is such a trooper. She just had surgery but she insisted on coming down with me. I had such a good time with her. Thanks for coming mom, Love you!

Moab Half Marathon, I'm stoked!!

I'm off to go run the half marathon in Moab! I'm so excited but a little nervous. I've never ran this long before, so I'm a little worried I won't be able to keep a 10 min mile. Wish me luck! I'll let you all know how it goes and I will take plenty of pictures! My mom is so nice to go down to moab with me. She'll hang out while I run and then we are going to have pedicures after the race and walk around arches national park.

First Eclipse Trailer

I don't have much to say except, the Eclipse trailer is out and I'm so excited! Everyone.... Enjoy!

My Very Own Mr.Darcy

WARNING: THIS POST IS SUPER CHEESY, SO IF YOU LOVE CHEESE PLEASE READ :)

Who says there isn't anyone like Darcy or Edward anymore? Just because guys aren't vampires or they don't wear tight riding pants, tall boots and a jacket with tails, doesn't mean they can't act and be just like the characters we fall in love with in our favorite books. I am lucky to believe that I am married to someone just like them!

Today I was trying to run 6 miles, soaking wet, in the horrible rain/snow. Just as I was about to give up, my "white knight" showed up in our blue Honda element to rescue me from the freezing cold sleet. As soon as we got home he gave me a perfect pink rose that he picked up on his way home from work (I had to take a picture of it. It really was perfect!). He then continued to draw me a bath and pick out one of my favorite books, "Eclipse", for me to read while I was soaking in the bath. (Oh and he wasn't done there.) As I was taking a bath he cooked dinner! And to top it all off I dragged him to ward talent night and he didn't even complain! Jake is always doing things like this for me. I don't know what I did to deserve it but I am so lucky to have him. So, this is just a little note to all my single ladies out there: There is still hope! I found my "Mr. Darcy" and so can you.

Again I apologize for the sappiness, but it comes out of me ever so often :)
