Draper Days 10 Mile Trail Run

Again, this run happened in June, and I am FINALLY getting around to posting about it. This is possibly my FAVORITE paid-for fun I have ever done! The WHOLE thing was on trails, so narrow you had to run single-file. It felt like I was running through a forest all alone, since most of the time the only living things I could see were the beautiful trees surrounding the trail on both sides. STUNNING! The first 4 miles or so were up hill. This was followed by 1.5 miles of downhill, where my (at the time) 19 week pregnant body actually was able to feel like it could RUN and not just shuffle. It felt good to feel like that restriction was temporarily gone! (I get SUPER slow uphill and on flat ground when I am pregnant- just look at the pics, but downhill for some reason still feels good.) Anyway, the last 5.5 miles or so were an out and back to the finish line (up hill at the end, hence the terrible form I have) where Ben and Mariah were waiting for me, along with my friend Heather Ballard (who finished about 7 minutes ahead of me) and her hubby and little girls. If you look closely, you can see Mariah chasing me in to the finish line. It was so so fun and I can't wait to do it again next year! (You are doing it with me Katie and Beth!)

Random Pics of Little M

Here are more random ones of my little cutie! And sorry about the pics being all over the place. I don't have the patience to figure out how to fix it right now! Back in March, my Mom, Mariah and I went to Disney On Ice. It was SO fun, especially with Grandma Nancy there! M dressed like Cinderella, and I think she looked just like her! Though she WOULD NOT pose for pics, here are a few we actually were able to get.





Our "new" favorite item we found from DI: the pink cowGIRL boots. We both love 'em! And for $3? I couldn't pass them up! And seriously, look at the thighs of my child. What a rock star! Though I don't know what the deal is with the pose she kept choosing...One of her favorite things to do is makeup. Mine as well as hers.

Pics from Hailey's Wedding May 2010

As I have been looking through our pics on the computer, I have come across MANY that I never blogged about. Here are a few from my roomie Hailey's wedding back at the end of April. Hailey looks SO beautiful, I couldn't leave these off my blog!
4 of the original BYU roomies, Me, Hailey, Erin, Brynna. We missed you Cindy!

Love this girl!

Add in Hailey's darling hubby Boon (yes, that's his real name!)

Love this girl, too!
