Sunrise Running

I've been running again to train for a race next May.  The sunrise and sunset runs are my favorite, though they're often snowy and cold!

Moab February 2016

Todd ran a 55k in Moab last week! That is 33.5 miles!! He is amazing. Photo credit: Kendall Wimmer

While Todd ran his heart out, Avery Lydia and I played at the park and biked along the river. .

After celebrating at the finish line (Todd ran 33.5 miles across steep terrain in an amazing 5 hours 45 minutes!) we went back to the hotel so I could run an impressive six miles on a flat paved trail, which nearly killed me. lol

We got pizza and to Avery's delight, went hot tubbing.



The rest of the trip was spent climbing, hiking, eating, and enjoying the scenery.  I loved seeing Moab with some snow!





Dinosaur tracks



I hadn't seen any petroglyphs in Moab till this trip.  They were everywhere!



Avery LOVED climbing and insisted on re-climbing each problem.

Lydia worked hard at sitting around and looking cute

Spot the toddler's head?



This was her favorite climb, it was repeated 5 times.



Still hard at work!

How Todd could climb for 1.5 hours the day after his race is beyond me.

Grand Targhee

A few weeks ago I went on a girl's trip to Grand Targhee.  We had a great time!  I laughed so hard I cried (and nearly lost control of my bladder) and caught up on some much needed sleep.  It was blissful to be away and in such good company, AND I missed my family like crazy.  As the trip neared it's end I felt recharged and ready to return to normal life.

Our eight mile snow shoe

See why we laughed so hard?!  I'm only posting a few on here but there were so many of these...

It was such a great day

Casey's big fall

That time when Becca and Megan broke out into song ha ha

Hamstring stretch!

The fog rolled in every evening.  It was haunting and beautiful

Serious fog!

Look at it roll in

Ahhhhh, exactly what I hoped to accomplish on this trip. R and R.  And Doritoes.

See the hidden message?

Goodbye Targhee, I love you!
