Running partner.

On Saturday morning I was up bright and early. 6:30 am is when I started my run out through the farm fields just west of our house. The fields were wet and soggy so I stayed on the paved roads. I crossed some fresh wet tracks on the road that were HUGE! I thought horse? No, horses have hald cirlces for foot prints! Didn't think much of it until later in the run when I noticed no dogs, no people no "nothing" out and about at this early hour. This was my conclusion...

So I got home and told Jase all about it. Again he thought maybe a horse. No no no I told him... can't be. I tried to convince him of my thoughts of a mountain lion. He said Ya, maybe its a st. Bernard. I said Jase! what the heck is a St. Bernard doing out at 6 am in the middle of nowhere. ok he finally believed me. I headed to work and talked to Stacy who knows anything and everything about animals. Without a doubt she said a mountain lion! AHHH! Since she thought it was I knew it was and I was scared now. She told me to not be dumb and run alone and make sure to put a bell on my hip.. or just run with a shot gun!

Lets fast forward to monday night after work. I was driving home the back way and about in the spot where I saw my "Mountain Lion" tracks. Here is where I found the culprit. I laughed and felt like an Idiot!

Indeed it was a St. Bernard!

T dam Marathon

Am I becomming obsessed? I just signed up to run the 10 k. I have 3 weeks to train for this baby. I have to run 6 miles this day anyway, why not get a free t shirt and swag bag out of it!?

I think this is a good motivation in the training for the actual half. Plus it just gives me an idea of what to expect on race day so I can relax and run and not worry about everything else!

Come one come all come run with me!

Heaven in a bottle?

Not gonna lie, I had this salad dressing last night With Cami while the boys were out. Not gonna lie, Best salad dressing I have ever had in my entire LIFE! I wished I could lick the plate after but I was at her house and I didn't want to look insane! Thanks Cami! This bottle Is $9.95 BUT it is ALL organic, locally made (In Heber) and SOOOO worth it! SO if you want, get some, you won't regret it! To order go Here

Thanks cami! (we should just kick the boys out so we can eat salads and spaghetti more often!

Training for Beginners

I absolutely HATED running with a passion. Last year I started after gaining my after wedding weight. I started to enjoy it, then I loved biking and did my first triathalon. This is coming from a girl that made up EVERY excuse to not run the mile at school. So my first triathalon (remind you it was a mini one) was really fun and I loved the feeling of accomplishment after. So then I was like hey, Maybe I should run a half marathon. Fast forward 2 weeks... I found out I was pregnant and I had a bad case of it. I stopping working out from that day forward. So fast forward to now... I am signed up to run my first half marathon.
I have been getting lots of questions about my running schedule because well, I have been loving it. I am sure there are SO many ways to train and run but this one works for me so I like it.
So it has a printer friendly version so I printed it and posted it. And let me tell you the feeling of accomplishment I get when I get home and cross off Another days training! Then its even more fun to look back and say wow I ran that much this week!
So go Here and check out his stuff!

Also Here Is a quote I love!

Sacrifice or Regret...You decide!

What I got myself into...

13.1 miles in 13 weeks!

{scared to death but SO excited}

Thats right, I have signed up to run the {Provo River Half Marathon!}

I have 13 weeks to train. 13 weeks to get my self together. 13 weeks to really see if I can fulfill a goal. 13 weeks to see if I have what it takes to push my body to its limits.

Wish me luck and send me some training tips! I have NEVER ran more than 3 miles in my WHOLE life!

Lets start off with 3 miles tonight, and go for by next week!

We went in for her well check up this morning and she is healthy as a peach. She now weighs 14.1 lbs {15th percentile} and 25.3 inches long {35th percentile}. She then got her shots and cried, but she was SUCH a big girl and so brave. So after I took her to Old navy for some cute new sandals and then to The Childrens Place for some cute sunglasses!

Happy half birthday to my baby girl! Love you!

What we have been up to

We haven't posted much about what we have been up to lately. So here is a quick catch me up if anybody is wondering.
I started work again over at Yellowstone Bear World in the gift shop.
Jase started school again taking many business and finance classes. He gets one Advanced Reproduction class. He has one class at a Dairy farm. Yay for me, I again get to scrub his clothes and get that Dairy stench out of them again.
Kendyl is growing like a weed. In just a few weeks she will be 6 months old. We started her on rice cereal and she still doesn't know what to think. She hates being fed with a spoon. She wont nap when we so badly want her to. She is however so good at staying quiet in bed in the mornings patiently waiting for us to wake up and feed her. She has also learned to squeel so loud. She loves her "Johnny Jumper' and literally cries until we put her in it. She still hates tummy time with a passion. She loves to put her fingers in our mouth and make us blow on them. And she loves a "yelly on the belly" as Jase would call it. (we just yell onto her belly and she just laughs so much).
Rexburg is still so bitter cold. In fact it is snowing as we speak. There is still nothing fun to do because it is SO cold and the wind is just SO bad and chilling. I really can't wait to leave this place. Rexburg is just not my favorite city.
Well thats all for now, 3 more months of this.... countdown is on!
