October News

October was a busy month for us. October 1, was the day I ran the St. George Marathon for the 10th time! Yeah -- finally made it to the Ten Year Club. No more Lottery for me! My brother Nate and daughter Lindsey ran it for the first time. It was fun to be at the start line with them.....then they waited at the finish line for me to arrive. The day was very hot and I don't think I have seen as many Ambulances going up and down the canyon as I did this year. I heard the ER at the Hospital was Chaos...glad that was just hearsay and not something I had to experience.

Monday after the Marathon, Dave and I flew to Boston for a little get away. This year we celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary and this was a delayed trip to celebrate. He wanted to go earlier, but I just didn't feel I could get away and not have my Marathon training interrupted..... We were able to visit the Cape Cod area, along with Cape Ann (North of Boston) and we even traveled as far North as Portland Maine. I love Light Houses---so Dave took me to see a bunch, and I mean a bunch as in 17! It was great and the Lighthouses are all unique and beautiful. Here are some of my favorite pictures of our trip.




The end of October, I ran the Halloween Half Marathon with Lindsey, Shelly, Britney, Alexis and Mady! Rylli was so excited for us and wanted us to dress up, so she made us Tutu's to wear for the event. Alot of fun was had by those who participated. We arrived at the start line with plenty of time to spare, but because of these ladies I was with, we laughed and laughed and laughed some more and the time passed very quickly and we were soon on our way down the mountain to the finish line 13.1 miles later.
