DANCE!!!

"we can dance if we want to..." So ever since I have seen the huge crowd dances (where they dance in a public place and it gets bigger and bigger,) I have always wanted to be in one! Just imagining the look on the on-lookers faces always makes me smile, to have something so spontaneous happen right in front of them! So here are a few of my favorite crowd dances! Enjoy!

life sometimes....

so life sometimes is hard. Yesterday I was having a little pity-party for myself (which are never good), and I was being sad about being single, and having too much expected of me but then not expecting enough from myself, blah, blah, blah. It was just one of those days. Thankfully those days don't happen all that much and to realize that I don't have it that bad! Yes its hard, but as my mother says, "I can do hard". I think we all can do hard, we just have to try. I compare doing "hard" to running. It sucks at the beginning, I ache and complain, but then I get my rhythm down and I get in the mindset of finishing and guess what, I always feel better at the end! So life sometimes is hard, but rewarding!

Runnin' and Runnin'

So this year I have decided to run the Ragnar Wasatch Back! If any of you don't know what the Ragnar relay race is, let me enlighten you... So this race covers 188 miles, from Logan to Park City Utah. You have a team of 12 members, and you run 3 different times during this great ordeal of a race. Some legs are harder than others, some runners are far more experienced, but its challenging, that is why I have decided to do it! I am on a slightly older team, (I am the only one under 30), but I am happy because most of them are seasoned runners. The race is in one month from today (June 18-19th) and some of the team members ran a 10K (6.2 miles) so we could know what pace we are to know what time we start (different teams start at different times according to their faster or slower paces). So now it will be known what time in the day and the middle of the nights we will be running! I have been trying to do my homework and to run everyday but it has been hard. When I ran the 10K I used the GU(goo) energy gels to see what they felt like and also shot blocks and wow my body was shaking from how much energy I had in me! But good to know they work right?! I am so proud that I have worked up to running those 6 miles, the other week I ran twice in one day, yeah crazy me, but that is what they suggest you do so that you will be in shape for the race.
This may sound crazy to some people, but I look at it as an opportunity to do something this extravagent. I would never run multiple mile legs in a 24 hour period! How fun, and exciting it is to do something unknown and still something as familiar as running!
So know comes the crazy fun part where I get all new gear and try try try to run every day! Motivation please come to me!!! Wish me luck!
