It's been that long, really?!

I can't believe I haven't written anything since March.  WOW, time has flown by so fast and so many new things are happening now.

The Utah Half was not my best run by far.  It was hard and way more up hill than they said it would be.  I'm sure if I had trained the way I wanted to it would have gone better than it did.  Realizing that I've had a few set backs during the training of this run was hard to accept, but it is what it is.  Then there was the fact that I was in the early stages of pregnancy and cramping quite a bit so I had to walk the majority of the run.  My partner in crime was great and very supportive, although next time we run together it won't be so much like just a stroll in the park.

The kids have kept me busy all summer.  We have been down South more than I have wanted to be and am VERY happy to be taking a break from driving that way.  Both Kaily and Conner did great with their swimming lessons and advanced like pros to the next level.  That took up most of June and then there was a crazy month called July where I think we were home for maybe a total of 5 whole days.  I was happy it came and went.  August has been a bit less busy than July was, for which I am grateful.  Kaily started school on Monday and Clint will start next Tuesday.  Conner will go to Preschool after Labor Day and then it will be just Corbin and I at home most of the time.

I'm going to the gym every now and then and trying to get back into going everyday.  Being a mom of 3 very busy kids makes it difficult sometimes to get there, but I am trying.  Labor Day weekend Clint and I are doing a triathlon.  He is doing the whole thing, where as I am dong only a part of one.  I have teamed up with my SIL and MIL to do it.  I'm a bit nervous as I haven't trained for this at all really, at least not for a couple months.  I'll do it though, and I'll hurt and be really sore, but ultimately, I'll just be happy that I did it and so proud of Clint.

Well, there you have it.  That's what's been going on around here.  Hope you all had a great summer!
