Powell 3 Triathlon Challenge (a.k.a. first serious tri ever)

                                                                                                                                                                     Lake Powell, sun, sand, and an amazing race, what more can someone ask for?
We decided to start doing triathlons pretty late into the season, so we could only get one race in before the end of the season came, but man we chose a great one! The Powell 3 Triathlon Challenge is a great way to close a race season.It is in early October right around fall break so it is not only a fun race but kind of a mini vacation.We decided to start doing triathlons pretty late into the season, so we could only get one race in before the end of the season came, but man we chose a great one!

Run the Canyon: Cedar City Half Marathon

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to run your first half marathon? Have you ever wondered if you could even run 1 mile without stopping? This was me to a T, I was always a sprinter I played tennis my whole life, how was I ever going to run anything?

Creamy Chicken Fiesta Soup (Healthified)

My favorite soup of all time is Creamy Chicken Fiesta Soup.
It hits all the right notes; creamy, cheesy, a little spicy, and full of flavor. Well there is one note it just doesn't hit and that is it is not that healthy, I mean it is not horrible but it could definitely have a makeover.

What we learned about replacing running shoes

So I have been in a good amount of pain while running for the last month. We are training for a half marathon next weekend, as well as another one in Disneyworld in November. We have been increasing our mileage every week and towards the end of my runs my knee and my feet have hurt a ton. I didn't think there was a chance that I had to replace my shoes, I just bought the Saucony Omni 12's in April and I figured I have only put around 200 miles (if that) on them.

When did I get this FAT!?!?!?!

To all the ladies out there who have woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and screamed in terror! This is what I looked like when I was at the fittest point in my life, I weighed 148lbs.

I just had started playing college tennis at the University of Utah and man was it tough! But it was so easy to loose weight I had two tennis coaches, a conditioning coach, and an athletic trainer. This is not real life as I soon came to realize when I finished with college tennis and got married.
