Weekend Getaway

I had the opportunity to go away to a friend-of-a-friends super duper fancy cabin this weekend in the Cle Elem/Roslyn area to re connect with some ladies I hadn't spent some time with in a while from my former church.

The cabin was absolutely beautiful (hardly roughing it) and the river was right in our back yard. We had such a great time re connecting, lounging, hot-tubbing, hiking, and serving eachother meals. It was a restful and fruitful retreat. I am thankful for the weekend, and so thankful that I was able to spend some time with some awesome ladies that have all made an imprint on my life. Hopfully our next time together will not be so far away.

I'm so Proud!

Happy Birthday to Us!

Jonathan and I share Birthdays fairly close together. My birthday is June 7th and Jono's is May 29th This month and last has been hectic, so we haven't done much more than dinner, but this 29th birthday was a little sweeter because I shared it with him. Perhaps next year we'll do a turning 30 bash together....

Rock N Roll Marathon

I ran the Rock N Roll Marathon on Sunday June 1st. It was a great experience

The after race celebration included a medal, lots of resting and eating. It was a great feeling, a personal accomplishment and very very adictive. I'm pondering my next marathon race now. I've been soar, but very happy. At first, I hadn't set a timed goal, my goal was just to finish. The day before, at the Health Expo they were selling wrist bands that tracked your time at each mile. I had to pick out a finishing time to purchase one, so I picked out a time of 5 hours and 30 minuets. I not only made it across the finish line, but I finished with a time of 5 hours and 22 minuets. Another victory that I hadn't long before expected. My total results are below...

Pictures Jonathan took at the 13 mile mark and then at the finish line. It is one of the most difficult races I have ever run and I was just thankful to be finishing.

This is my incredible and supportive finance that was with me at the starting line, raced to meet me at the 13 mile mark, the 22nd mile mark and then again at the finish line. I was only as good as his support, encouragement and the sweet marathon playlist he created for me the night before.

Giving Jono a smile and mentally preparing myself in a strong way for the 26.2 miles ahead.

We were seperated into different Corral's according to our predicted race finishing time. and age. I am nervously standing in my sectionn waiting for the race to begin here

The Rock N Roll Marathon was Sunday, June 1st- This is me at 5:30 am stretching and preparing for the race.
