Workouts: On my training blog.
First I really really want to apologize for my lack of blogging lately. I know I don't owe anyone an apology and that I blog for me but I really have missed the connections. Blogging is important to me and I truly do love it. I have made so many friends through blogging and I really hope I can find time to get back to it and reconnect. Thank you to those that are still stopping by and I promise you some good posts coming up soon. I really do strive for my blog to be some sort of resource for new runners so hopefully I can get back to that. Anyone want to buy me a new computer? My computer from the stone age is 9/10ths of the problem. hehe

For now I will share with you just a few of the "highlights" from the past week or so.
Just a few more pictures from the Color Me Rad 5k with my sister. Running with my sister was such a highlight in my life. So much fun! We are planning to run the FREE Run of Remembrance 10k together on Memorial Day and I cannot wait.
My brother Trevor turned 24 on Saturday and we celebrated his birthday together as a family. We had cake & ice cream, sang Happy Birthday at his grave, and celebrated his life. It was such a highlight to spend this time with my family and dedicate the day to Trevor. Happy "You You" to you Trevor!
Another highlight was running a new 5K PR in honor of Trevor on his Birthday. I finished the Provo City 5k in 19:35 and could not be more thrilled. The fact that I accomplished this elusive sub-20 on such a special day makes it even that much more exciting and monumental.
And last but certainly not least how could I go without mentioning the highlight of babysitting my nephew once a week. He brightens my day and helps remind me to relax, smell the roses, and just enjoy the simple joys of life.

Those are just a few of the "highlights". I will be back tomorrow with a full 5k PR recap. I am also working on a post about my hydration/nutrition for surviving the Boston heat wave. Hopefully it can be some sort of resource to those who have e-mailed or commented with questions.
Have a great day everyone and thanks again for your continued support. Do something in your life today that is worth highlighting! ;)
What a great post! Congrats on the kick ass PR! Sub-20 - I just am in awe of your talent and hard work. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Trevor as well!
I think you were meant to hit sub 20 on that day. It makes me so happy. For me a highlight has been seeing our community pull together for my friends, we had a great little trip to Vernal last week, and I had a great run last night. I miss seeing you guys. I really hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeletei love your highlights! they are more than just moment, they are LIFE!
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is so precious! You have so many wonderful moments in the last week!
ReplyDelete:)
Love that photo of the new news! And I'm so glad you achieved your 5K goal on such an important day.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about blogging. I'm finding time short now and it's hard to blog but I'm so grateful for the connections I've made and the support I've found. I wish I could buy you a new computer!
Your fam is the most adorable ever! Seriously love all you guys! So glad you were able to get together to celebrate Trevor! Congrats again on your PR! I really can't thank you enough for being there for me on saturday...Esp with how big of a day it was for you and your fam! It meant the world to me to have you there and to have your support!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute post! I think a "highlight" for James is definitely the day he gets to spend with his Aunt Shel. You are the best and he loves you so much.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Trevor! You are amazing, girl. Trevor is so proud of you.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about blogging. I haven't had a lot of time lately and I try to catch up as much as I can on all of my favourite blogs! Yours is one I always look forward to reading. You inspire me so much not only to want to improve myself as a runner, but as a person too!
Wow, lots of exciting and wonderful things happening for you. I haven't blogged or read blogs hardly at all for the last 5 or 6 weeks because my life has just been so crazy.
ReplyDeleteI think it's so awesome that your family still gets together to celebrate Trevor's Birthday. That's a really great way to keep his memory alive.
Congrats on the sub 20 5K - you rock!! If I could ever just do a sub 30 one day I'd be so excited.
I really love, love reading about you and your brother!!! Makes my heart sing. He must be so proud of you.
