Have Running Shoes Will Travel

We have had a fun few weekends.  First we all went to Salt Lake City so that I could have my pictures taken for my Beachbody Website.  A good friend, Jenni had used a talented photographer in SLC and I loved her yoga pictures so much that I asked that he do my pictures too. 

While in SLC we got to see the Thompson family including their son Kade wrestle.  You'll see Kades name again someday as he is a future Olympian.  And we had a great but messy dinner with the Olsen Family (Olive Garden may never let us eat in their resturant again). 

We also did a little shopping which is always fun.

Then the next weekend we were off to Phoenix AZ for me to run the Rock& Roll 1/2 marathon with my dear friend Kate.  Katie and I have been friends since High School and it was just fun to spend time with her and her family.  Our boys all got along very well and we probably will not be allowed in Gordon Biersch again (another large mess by our children).

We also had time to catch up with Gary's brother Jeff and his fiance Kim.  And that night the kids ran wild on some steep steps in the house we had rented for the weekend.

As for the race I did a personal best of 2:05:34 .  Next year I hope to get under 2 hours.  I was really happy that I didn't walk one step and only stopped once to go to the bathroom.

As you can see Katie is a Ducks Fan!
