DinoTri Pictures

DinoTri

Lance and I decided to do a triathlon this year. We did the DinoTri in Vernal, Utah with my sister Jenny and her husband Trevor, and also Lances best friend Bryce. We also brought my sister Natalie along to be our photographer! We had a great time. We stayed the night in Vernal and were up at 5:00 on Saturday morning to catch the bus to take us to Red Fleet Reservoir. We did our 1/2 mile swim in the reservoir. The water temperature was about 70 degrees, not too cold, it was pretty perfect actually. The swim for me was the hardest part. I barely learned how to swim the right way in April when we started training, so I still wasn't that great at it. My great husband Lance kept by me for the swim to help me along the way. It was really hard to keep going through the water. It doesn't sound far, but believe me, in the water, it is SUPER far! After the swim we were off for the 12 mile bike. Of course our legs were half way jello at that moment, and the first 2 miles of the bike ride were all up hill! :) Lance got ahead of me on the hills but I ended up catching him at the end of the bike ride. After the ride, we ran a 5k (3.2 miles). Lance and I ran all of that together and crossed the finish line hand in hand (aahhh cute, I know, Lance is awesome) My sister Jenny took 1st place, and I took 3rd place in our age division. I hate to admit that I got third because there was only 3 people in our age division that ran in the triathlon, but hey I got third all the same! :) Lance did way awesome and I seriously wouldn't have made it through this without his encouragement. It sounds so easy when you sign up to do it, but you just don't expect how hard it is actually going to be. I am glad we did this one for our start, now we know more of what to expect in the next ones! We finished with a time of 2 hours and 2 minutes. They haven't posted the overall results yet, but we will let ya know how we did overall when they post it. We had a great time! Enjoy the pictures, sorry there is so many, it is hard to decide which ones to use! 

Wasatch Back Pictures

Wasatch Back

Lance and I have both been pretty busy these last couple of weeks. So here is our update and picture catch up. My younger sister Natalie ran in the Wasatch Back Relay that started on June 20th. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a relay race that goes from Logan to Park City. It covers about 180 miles between teams of 12 people. Each person runs 3 legs that are between 3 and 8 miles. Anyway, it is a pretty sweet race! Lance and I went up with my sister Jenny and her husband Trevor to watch her run. She did awesome and it was cool to watch people run in it. Natalie had a very hard leg (she had to run up and down trappers loop, by Pineview Reservoir) it was 8 1/2 miles and she ran it in 62 minutes. She did amazing. Anyway, enjoy the photos, it was a fun weekend for us to watch her. Hopefully we will run in it next year and we can post photos of us running in it. :)

MacBooks

Here is my free plug for MacBook! MacBooks are seriously so awesome! Lance and I have had our MacBook for about 6 months now and we are still finding things we never thought a computer would have. There is so much cool stuff you can do all in that one computer. It is amazing the technology we have now a days! MacBooks basically come with a program similar to photoshop, a camera installed in the computer to take pictures and make videos, itunes, and so much other stuff it would take me forever to name! So everyone should visit their local Apple stores, just to check out the awesome products they are selling. It is fun to look around and see what it would be like if I was actually rich enough to purchase all the up to date technology there! So thanks to my awesome MacBook and my wonderful husband I was able to successfully give my blog a much needed face lift! Enjoy!

Under Construction

So I know there is some pretty sweet things you can do with blogs. I have decided to explore my options over the next couple of days in hopes of making this site a little more interesting. If any of you have any super fabulous sites that are good for blogging technique, let me know! Hopefully I will have this done this weekend! Thanks in advanced for any ideas! :)
