Photoless Weekend

One, two or all three of us did the following this weekend:

Built a fence (and demolished the old one) ~ bought and installed a dog door ~ Cleaned out the garage ~ Visited TWO libraries ~ Watched "The Absentminded Professor" and "Where the Red Fern Grows" ~ Ran 10 Miles (straight) ~ Bought groceries ~ Watched Alabama beat LSU ~ Grilled hamburgers and hot dogs (I also had baked beans and potato salad, but the boys didn't) ~ 5 loads of laundry ~ Read magazines ~ Relaxed on the couch ~ Went for a walk on the Provo Trail ~ Helped a neighbor fix his car ~ Had suckers and caramel at Sundance ~ Raked up all the leaves in the front yard ~

No photos...just wonderful memories.

10/21/2009 Low Gear Sport?

You would think running is a sport for which you don't really need much gear. Put on a pair of shorts, a sports bra (or two), a shirt, socks and shoes and GO, right? Well, now that I am running more often and longer, it's a whole different game. So, here's a run down of all I take with me:My trusty pepper spray! Thanks to Chad and Carson for picking this up for me at Gunnies!

The pedometer. We (Crystal and I) trust in the pedometer to accurately tell us how far (or how short) we have run!

Little flashlight...gives good light and isn't too heavy to carry.

My newest gadget! An ergonomic bottle that is easy to carry because you slip it on your hand. My Dad got this for me and I am looking forward to trying it out on my long run this Saturday!

So, there you have it! Sometimes I feel like I need to pull a little trailer behind me for all the crap I take with me, but I need it ALL!
