Easter 2011

Ahhh, Easter, the Sunday that the kids are all hyped up on candy, and goodies before 9am church. It's great!! I didn't get many pictures of the great egg hunt in the front yard, but here are a few.............

It looks as though Staisha, Cole, and Benny were my only victims.

Benson loved the fact that he figured out how to open the egg and find something yummy, sugary, sweet, and maybe a bit sour inside. The kids really had to watch their baskets. He would grab a egg as fast as he could and take off running as fast as his cute little legs could carry him. I wonder if I could get away with not getting him a basket, and candy next year too????

Sedona Half Marathon

I ran the Sedona Half Marathon back in February, and I forgot to post about it. Better late then never right???
I ran it with my good friend and running buddy Tayna. It was a beautiful run, but one of the hardest runs I've ever done. There were a ton of hills!! I felt great the first half of the race, but the second half kicked my butt. I definitely went out too fast. I was hoping to PR but was unable to, I blame it on those dang hills!!! I ran it in 2 hours and 2 minutes. Not too shabby. I really want to run it again next year. My goal is to beat my time. I guess that means more hill training is in my future. Here are a few pics that Tayna and I took from it.

We ran right along the red mountains you see in these pictures. It was really beautiful, and peaceful. The pictures don't do it justice. Can't wait till next time!!!
