We celebrated my birthday by going to Moab for a trail half-marathon (Todd) and 5k (me.) Avery stayed with Grandma for 3 days and for the first time ever we didn't sleep in the same place! It went really well, except for coming home early with the flu, and picking up Avery who also had the flu, and giving the flu to my mom and sister. That part was awful.
During the 5k I felt my love for running re-ignite and I'm planning on training for a half marathon next Spring. I felt kinda wussy (OK really wimpy and wussy) for only doing a 5k when Todd did the half and Mark and Van did the whole marathon. But at least I did a running event, right?
Since our trip was cut short I only took a few photos. Here's the best one:

That is a good list! Did you figure out the dizziness? And thank you SO MUCH for putting me on the list. It brought tears to my eyes. :) Happy tears.
