Well, since doing my triathlon, I've been super not motivated. I haven't worked out AT ALL since I finished the TRI and that was April 3rd. I know I'm lame whatever. Its hard for me to work out when I don't have a goal in mind. Spencer and I were going to do the Utah Valley Half Marathon but when we went to sign up, it was sold out. My friend Emily has been asking me if I was going to do a half and I have kept telling her yes. Well here is the official announcement:
I AM DOING THE PROVO RIVER TRAIL 1/2 MARATHON AUGUST 13TH. No backing out now! I've registered and now I'm telling the world about it! I'm pretty nervous because I've never been a runner but its one of those things to check off my list. Training starts today. Wish me luck :)

SHAC Triathlon
Let me start with some back story. In November, I had a girls trip with my friend Emily. We went down to St. George and did the Snow Canyon Half Marathon and 5K. She did the half and I did the 5K. We had a blast. We were looking through the other St George races and I saw the SHAC Triathlon. I thought to myself I want to do that. I hit Emily up and she agreed. I told Wes about it and he said he would do it too. I was way excited. We started in January and wow was I sore. My training schedule was something like this: Monday and Thursday swim, Tuesday bike, Wednesday run, Friday bike, Saturday run. This entailed early morning training especially for the swim. We did this for 3 MONTHS. I was SO burnt out.
Day of triathlon I was super nervous. I knew the swim would be no big deal and the run would be ok. I was freaking out about the bike. The swim was at an indoor pool which I was super glad about.
Swim: I felt pretty good during the swim. I had a little bit of trouble towards the end but I think it was because I started out to fast. When I was done, trying to jump out of the pool was hilarious. My arms were so tired I could barely lift myself out.
Bike: Well here came what I was most worried about. I climb on and very first thing is a hill! We did two laps of the course. I remember reading the description of the course "mostly flat with a few hills." Not so much. It was very hilly and some of the hills were really steep. When I came around to do my second lap, I remember seeing Spencer and telling him I was going to throw up and I still had one lap to go plus run. When i hopped off my bike at the transition area, I could hardly walk. My legs were jello. I was dreading the run.
Run: My legs were so not working for the entire first lap. To top that off, at the very beginning, big hill! I was just telling myself, you can do this! Most memorable thing about the run, on my second lap almost done, I hear my name being yelled. I look over and there is Lisa, Aunt Leann, and Ty. That made the whole race. I just worked so hard to get to the end after that.
Finish: Getting to the finish line and seeing Spencer, Wes, Emily, and Ryan was so awesome. I was dead and telling myself that was the hardest thing I've ever done and I would never do another one!
So now looking back, very hard but I would probably do another one.
Here is how I finished:
Swim 400 Yards: 10:02(very happy with)
Transition 1: 2:41
Bike 10 Miles: 49:25(I was hoping for better)
Transition 2: 3:15
Run 3 Miles: 29:24 (very happy with)
Total Time: 1 hr 34 min 48 sec Only 4 minutes off my goal time. Really happy with for my first time!
Wes and I headed out on our bike.
Coming in!
FINISHED!
We Did It!

Shouldn't he be Pushing This?
Tegan loves trucks, especially his big tonka trucks. However, he really likes to sit in them and roll down hills or wait for someone to give him a push around the yard. Occasionally, he even takes them to the street and starts cruising down the hill. Talk about a heart attack! He's quite the funny little boy!

Looks Can Be Deceiving
Oh how sweet, right? Yes but think again. :) She is a stink! She is so bossy and knows exactly what she wants. Even down to picking out her own clothes! If I pick the wrong thing, she throws a fit. Even down to hair and shoes. If she wants something, she comes and smack your leg and says mom or dad and tries to get you to stand up. But look at that face. How can you resist?
