A little bit of summer coming my way!

This weekend was exciting and much needed in terms of getting away from the city life.  Nadia, Quinn, Seth, Michael, Chris, and I competed in the Moab Red Rock Relay in Utah.  It consisted of 70 miles of flat, inclined, declined, and more flat terrain of running.  We started in Moab and went through the canyon, through the La Sal Mountains, and back into town again.  It was around 85 degrees for the weekend and absolutely gorgeous!  We camped Friday and Saturday night and started running at 9:15 Saturday morning.  We finished in just under nine hours and went directly to Moab Brewery and filled up with burgers and lots of BEER after!  It was much needed along with the sprinkler episode of running through the water to get clean and get some of the sunscreen and salt off of our bodies.  I felt slightly homeless, deja-vu of the movie "Dick and Jane" and my joints were praising me after.  It was an ice bath on the go.  The trip was great fun with some great people from Crossfit Lodo.  Thanks those of you who went and made it possible.  Oh and the best part was that without ANY TRAINING WHATSOEVER, Crossfit Lodo took 4th place out of 125 teams!!!  Rock on team!  I guess crossfit does really help after all.  Here are some pictures from the trip!  More to come once Seth goes through the 1880 photos we took.  Have fun with that Seth! but he will be alright because he drives a Prius.  Named Russell!!





A little bit of summer.... not a bad way to start off a great summer in one of the most beautiful places!!

God is good!
