5k!!

Well as you can tell I have been slacking slightly lol, my bad!! I thought I would update and tell you that I ran a 5k!! So my training wasn't going so good, the first couple of weeks I was so motivated but then life happens and well you do it when you can, but struggle to keep up a solid schedule. Blah blah blah ha ha so I was planning on running in the Labor Day 5k, but Anna said she was going to run in one in Cedar called the Moon walk and 5k run on August 27th. So I thought about it and decided to call Amanda and see what she thought, well we decided to do the moon walk! I was so nervous/ excited that I could have pissed my pants, but I did it and had tons of fun! Amanda and I finished together in about 44 minutes, which to me is not bad at all considering that this was our first one ever and we had only made to the beginning of week 6 in our training!! I must say I am super proud of myself for actually doing it!! Yay me!!! I was considering doing the one on Labor Day still, but haven’t decided for sure yet!!! I am glad I found something that I kinda like doing and it will help me get into better shape!! I am excited to see what life brings for me in the next little while!!! I hope to have some things to talk about so I can keep this darn thing updated, till next time much love!!!!

Why I otta beat him!!!

Last night was day 1 week 3 of my 5k training, or it was suppose to be! Jeff and I headed out about 9:15pm and started our usual course. As we are going along Jeff mentions that he listened to week 4 and it is going to be a killer you have to do intervals of jogging for 3 min walking for 2 min then jogging for 5 min, I laughed and said "hell I gotta get through week 3 first", I had listened to the beginning of week 3 and it mentioned a 3 min jog then a 3 min walk so after our warm up walk it says jog for 3 min, I thought to myself ok it mentioned something about a 3 min jog so on we went. After the 3 min jog it says now do a 2 min recovery walk so we start walking THEN it says now it's time for your 5 MIN JOG!! I was like what the heck and I looked and Jeff and simply said "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU" he was like why I preceded to explain to him that after playin' with my i-pod he didn't put it back on week 3 so we were currently doing WEEK 4, he was like oh I am so sorry lets start week 3 right now, I figured what was the point I had already jogged for 4 of the 5 minutes so I might as well keep going!! So to say the least I am a little sore today but I am going to keep pushing myself with week 4!! Only a month from Friday till the Big Day!!! I'm pretty excited!!!!! Till next time, much love!

5k training goes on!

So I finished week 1 it was amazing, I actually felt much better physically which is awesome! But then....I got sick so I wasn't able to start right away on week 2! Bummer for me, I was so worried that with the week long break from training it was going to bounce me right back to the beginning. I was so wrong!!! Monday we went for the first day of week 2 and it felt so AMAZING!!!!! I am excited to say that I felt just as strong if not stronger and I can not wait to keep movin' on and up!!! Can't wait to finish week 2 so I can update on my progress!!! Much love!

Week 1 day 2 5k trainin'!

Today was a pretty awesome day!! We got up and went to the lake with Nellie and her family, Kim and Anna and Jesse, Anna and Adam's brother Matt and his kids and their parents!! We got there around 10am and played in the water and I laid in the sun and there was a crazy fish that kept swimming by us then it tried attacking us!! LOL is was pretty funny I screamed like a little girl =) we headed home around 2ish! Then after the lake we came home and took a 2 hour nap then we went to a green show for the Shakespeare festival, it was pretty fun! After that we decide to have a family softball game it was going good till a bad hop got Matt's little girl right square in the forehead, to say the least that ended the game, but she was super tough and was doing fine when we left! When we got home from the game I wanted to go on my week 1 day 2 run, which technically should have been yesterday but I was a slacker! I am so proud, we finished the whole run, I just pushed myself through and I DID IT!! WaaaaaaaaaaWhhhooooooooo for me!!I can't wait for Monday night so I can go again and keep movin up in the program! Till next time, much love!!!

5k!!

Ok so I mentioned I was going to run a 5k, well I started training! Yesterday was the first day, Jeff and I set out around the neighborhood and I almost DIED!! Holly cow I knew I was out of shape, but I didn't realize I was so out of shape!!! We started this running program that gradually brings you up, it is called couch to 5k in 8 weeks!!! I was so excited to get out and run until a little over half way through I was completely dying and my legs and ankles were hurting so bad I had to walk the rest of the way, I was half tempted to have Jeff carry me!!! But he is like a personal trainer and pushed pushed pushed, now he is excited to go out everyday and do walk/runs, I am totally in for it now!! I suppose this is a good thing we are both a little on the hefty side and running should help us with that!!! At least now I have something to blog about, I will keep you all updated on my progress!!!

My bad!!!

So my hardest wasn't good enough! It has been over a month and a half since I posted last.... My Bad!! So to quickly catch up on our lives....California was such a blast, we had an amazing time! June wasn't to exciting, so nothing to report! We went to the first night of Gunlock rodeo on July 1st, it was tons of fun, I think it's my favorite rodeo!! For the 4th of July (really the 5th) we stayed in Cedar and went to the parade afterwards we invited the family over for a BBQ it was tons of fun after the BBQ we went to the movies and seen Grown Ups, so funny, after that we were going to take a nap but Jeff got called into work for a water leak and ended up missing the family softball game, but it's all good cause I represented us well by gettin on base all 4 times!! That night we lit off fireworks at Jeff's parents with the grand kids and then went to bed! This past weekend we had the heat stroker softball tournament in St. George it goes from 7pm to 7am Friday night and Saturday night the team ended up finishing 15th out of 60 something teams not to bad!! So those are the highlights of the past couple of months! Looking towards the future I am going to run a 5k Labor Day weekend with Anna and I am pretty excited!!! As of now no super exciting plans but I will try to update sooner than a month and a half!! Much love!

Can we say SLACKER!!

Wow, it has been about 2 months since I have posted! So sorry, but life has been a well lets call it a challenge. Marriage is AMAZING; I love finally being married to Jeff, that part of life couldn't be better! After the wedding we honeymooned in Primm, it was a great time, but we were super excited to get back to our new home and set it all up and open presents! We got a lot of amazing presents which was pretty sweet! After that good time in la la land life started: bills, bills, bills, and the drama of my parents losing their house and me not finding a job yet and so on and so forth. So to say the least the last couple of months have been extremely trying and difficult. April started out great, but went out with a bang when my parents (who were working with some refinance company, which screwed them over) had their house foreclosed on; it was a super rough time for me because I was financially helpless and I felt horrible for this all happening the same month their youngest daughter up and got married and left them all alone. Luckily I am married to an absolutely amazing man who stood by my side and helped me through the drama and the pain and the guilt, which he said I had absolutely no need to feel. He also said “Honey, your parents are going to be just fine, everything happens for a reason and they are going to make it through this” I love him so much and he was right, god doesn’t go around punishing people, things always happen for a reason and he has a plan for each and every one of us. So Jeff and I put on some raggedy clothes and headed to St. George Mother’s Day weekend (Also my Mom’s birthday weekend) of all weekends to start helping my parent’s pack up there stuff and start moving it out. It was a very unproductive weekend, because we ended up helping a super ungrateful person try to move her stuff out so my parents could move in. By the way there have some friends who have 10 acres of land just up the road in Veyo, turns out that it is just what they need for my mom to run the trail rides off of and also that there is plenty of room for all of the animals! So the next weekend rolls around (my birthday weekend) Jeff and I head down again and this time we got a lot down, I worked on fences and Jeff worked on one of the huge horse corrals my parents have. We were going to leave on Sunday; however my sister Cassie showed up and needed our help so Jeff called into work and we stayed. We woke up early and busted our buts getting things packed and moved; by the way Monday was my birthday, we then packed a trailer full of stuff to take to our houses and headed back Monday night. My sister drove home and turned around the next day and drove back, I went back down on Wednesday and came home Thursday night we moved ALL 20ish horses and the corrals in one flippin’ day, it was the hardest day of work in my life no joke, this was Wednesday. We took the weekend off so I could get some stuff around our house done and to rest a little, plus Jeff had to work Saturday. Sunday night my mom called me up and asked if I could come down and help her out, so Monday morning I woke up early and headed back down. We got one huge trailer full loaded up and moved and another trailer half loaded before I had to head back home. The next day I was expecting to chill and then head back down on Wednesday, however nothing ever works the way I expect it to. My sister calls me up and says she is coming back down and I was going with her, she got to my house around 1 and we headed back down. We took another load of stuff and then loaded a HUGE woodpile up (thank goodness for the help of the neighbors or I could very well be dead by now) to burn the next day, we ended up going to bed around 2am and waking up at 7am (those of you who know me know I am not good on no sleep) I woke up the next morning sick, throwing up, it was awful but I had to get stuff done because they were suppose to be out of the house by….TODAY. It isn’t gong to happen. So we came home Wednesday night and I am so freaking worn out and tired and out of touch with everyone it isn’t even funny. My parents have lived in the same house for almost 20 years and they have A LOT of CRAP to move so this is why I am so crazy and stressed and typing a novel for all to read, but hey now you know!!!



So to say the least my life has been a crazy down hill sprint this last couple of months, but on the plus side we are going on vacation to Cali with Tanya and the kids June 5th - 9th so we are super excited for a nice little well deserved break! I will try my hardest to update on a regular basis, we will see how that goes, but for now much love!
