What I've been up to...

This has been my main focus lately, and let me tell you life is BUSY!! Before I had Noah I trained all the time for things and it seemed pretty easy to carve out time to do so.  Not so much anymore.  I am turning 30 this year and wanted to check some things off the bucket list.  Doing a half-marathon was one of them, so I signed up for the Salt Lake City Half, which is in 4 1/2 weeks! This has been a real commitment.  I in no way want to be at all unprepared, so I have put in the miles, but it is really hard juggling three kids, church callings, work and the unpredictable winter weather in Utah!  That said, I still have really enjoyed doing it.  Even though it is hard and pushed me out of my comfort zone, it makes me feel great to know I set a goal and accomplished it.  Last Saturday my good friend Melissa and I ran 10 miles.  Five up Provo Canyon and then five back down.  The thought of ten miles a month ago was so daunting, but I did it and I didn't die, in fact I never felt like I couldn't make it.  Was it hard?.. yes and was I relieved when it was over..Absolutely! One month from tomorrow if my race..and I am really excited.
