September Heat Wave.....

Dear Mother Nature,
Thank you for the endless Summer.
Thank you for the extra days swimming, laying in the sun, and for the opportunity to devour another box of otter pops.
It's been great, really....
Now bring on Fall!!!!!

Flashback Friday

Fall always brings a certain nostalgia back to me. Just the nip in the air, the smell of leaves falling and the changing colors make me think about all the wonderful seasons I've experienced running track & cross country. I received a phone call yesterday from the BYU track coach. I have been approved to become a track official for BYU! I'll be attending a school in November and ready to roll my sleeves up and help out! Especially since it seems that I spend more time in physical therapy these days than anywhere else!

I love this photo and the way that both my feet are off the ground!

My sister and fellow awesome miler!

This was the start of my best race ever!

Cute Justin with his roommate Mike even came to see me run that day!

Looking Tired at a cross country meet....

Thursday's Thought

Run Like The Wind Bullseye

The boys got to run in the BYU Autumn Classic today!
It was their first ever cross country meet!
You can imagine I was pretty stoked to see our little guys get out there and run like the wind!

BYU Track girls (Isaac was crushing a little)

Who wouldn't LOVE to run on this track every day with beautiful Timp in the background?

She's dreaming of her future as a track star. Maybe?

That's one determined boy!
