I have just run the St. George Marathon, and I’m signed up for the Thankful 13 in just one month. So, I was not planning to run any races between the two. However, the day before this run in Provo, Utah (Utah county), friend who I worked with many years ago started texting me to …
My best marathon ever!! The last time I ran St. George was 2001. My time was about 4:51. 10 years later, I ran a marathon in South Jordan (SoJo). It felt like the worst day of my life. I think my time was around 5:20, but worse than that, I didn’t enjoy it at all. …

I’ve mentally written my weight loss success story a thousand times. In my vision, I become super skinny and everyone asks me how I did it! I always imagined my story would be something like, “I stopped eating sugar and never had a craving to over-eat again!” I wrote my imaginary “Body for Life” essay and became the …

A few months ago, Eliece and I decided to sign up for a half marathon in Bryce Canyon. We heard it was a gorgeous race- plus it was a 2000 foot descent (bonus), and I’ve been wanting to run a race that we got to travel for! Unfortunately, deciding so late, there were very few …
We tried to go to Alpine Sliding Rock last weekend, when we were stopped at the gate to the trail by a cop. He told us we couldn’t slide on the rock that day because they were filming a movie! He also said there was someone “very famous” up at the waterfall, and hopefully they …
