I'm a little late posting this but last saturday I ran the Kansas City Marathon!! 26.2 miles baby!! It was hard but very rewarding and i'm very proud of myself. I ran out it in 4 hours and 35 minutes, not too bad for my first marathon, i averaged a 10 and a half minute mile for 26.2 miles!! I was so nervous the night before and very excited when I woke up at 5 am on race day! However as I was driving to the race it was pouring rain and very chilly, but it turned out to be a pretty day and there were so many people there it was amazing. I can't believe I did it!! My body was so sore the next day I could not even walk!!! Monday however i was bale to get a massage and it really helped! BUt anyway heres a video of me crossing the finish line!! P.S I'm dancing across the finish line, i'm not havng a seizure!!

Brost baby girl#2!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited to intoduce our second member of the family today! Her name is Meela, shes only 8 weeks old and weighs about 12 lbs. Shes very cuddley and very beautiful, Kyle and I are very excited to have her. Meela is a great pyreneese so her being only 12lbs wont last very long! We have had 2 very successful trips to the bathroom outside today and a few surprises in between but so far she seems smart and very quick to learn! Welcome to our family Meela

So I'm running the Kansas City marathon in October and I am at, well I've kind of been at a burn out stage here this month. i just get tired of running, which is odd for me because i love it soo much. I love it because it's just me and whatever road I choose to pound on for 5-19 miles. I love it because I get to think and dream, and enjoy the hidden beauties only a sweaty, tired, and thirsty runner will see ( a johnny on the spot, with or without toilet paper is never more exciting to find then when you are on a long run)! However today I just didn't feel like running. I went out with a goal of about 16 miles and i only made it 1.5! Why?! I'm not sure but I guess I'll have to try tomorrow!~

I'm nervous about the marathon but also excited, I'm nervous at what my body will do during the 26.2 mile stretch but excited because i will be among other avid runners who love the sport for all the same reasons i do, and because of all the adrenaline that will be rushing through my body from just being around them! I know I can run the full distance and I've always wanted to. So I will and i will let you know how it goes.

So kyle teaches early morning seminary for our church and on this particular day they were learning about when nephi was tied up by his brothers and nephi prayed for the strength to loosen the ropes which held him bound. Well who knows how long it took nephi to loosen those ropes, all we know is that the lord heard nephis prayer and gave him the strength to brake those ropes. what an amazing story! so you know the story you see the object lesson figure out how to apply it to your life, the seminary students did!!

these are my new vibram five finger shoes! They are the best shoes I have ever owned, they are so comfortable. Its like walking barefoot all the time! Yes, each toe fits in the shoe individually, like a glove or toe socks. Its a little weird at first but they are so comfortable you will never want to take them off!


I can wear them walking, running (this particular style is made for running), hiking, swimming, or while doing yoga! I love them, everyone needs a pair!

this is how we spent our lazy day!

I"m blogging!!

So here I go! Kyle and I are enjoying a lazy day together (we rarely get to see one another because of work schedules) we plan on doing nothing all day and all night long! I'll get back to you when something exciting happens!!
