San Tan Scramble Trail Run

Post Race Naptime!
Finish and Start Line

Jake and I ran the San Tan Scramble Trail Run, I ran the 9K and he ran the 50K. Did you hear that, I ran the 9K! Just Kidding, Jake seriously ran 30 miles in the mountains. I took him 5 hours and 37 minutes. We arrived there early and it was really cold. They had heat lamps and we talked to other runners from all over. They were jealous that we live so close to the mountain to run and hike. A lot of the runners follow the trail runs, they prefer to run the trails. Jake started at 7:00. I went back to the car to sleep until my race at 8:30. It was much warmer with the sun up. I loved running the trails and even got a few kills in! That's when you pass and stay ahead of fellow runners. I finished in an hour 12 min. Not bad for me. I had my book, and waited for Jake to finish. He did awesome, 30 miles is a long run. I will totally do it next year. Now, Ragnar in two weeks!

Merry Christmas 2011






Over Thanksgiving my whole family was able to be together. My sister and her family from Nebraska, my sister and her family from Utah, and my brother from Utah. Along with those of us who live here. It was a great week, filled with Thanksgiving and Christmas. We had Christmas early at my Mom and Dad's, opening gifts and spending the day hanging out and playing games. It was so fun to have us all together this year. It was the year for family pictures too!
