2 weeks and counting

Less then two weeks until Jay and I travel to Chicago. I feel like I'm ready to go and that it will be a fun time for us. We will get to see some family and friends that we haven't seen in awhile. Plus, we will be enjoying the city for a weekend and get away from our work and the desert (The best part). I got my race brochure in the mail last week (Yes the Chicago Marathon sends race brochures). I can't wait to go to a expo that has more then three vendors and also run a race that has more then 5,000 runners. I feel like I will spend more time taking pictures then worrying about splits and times. Hopefully that causes me to run faster then I think and not worry about how sore my legs are becoming (haha). I keep overlooking the race course and I try to think about which spots will be the best places to take pictures of the people running and the experience. I'm not sure how much I will actually think about it or remember to take the pictures! Well, hopefully the experience is just as exciting as I'm making it out in my head to be! We shall see!

Life!

Hi all! Life lately has been great! Jay and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary in June. We went to the local casino for a couple days. It was a fun time to get away and spent time together! In August we went to Hawaii for our summer vacation! We spent a week on the beach and soaking in the sun! It was relaxing and enjoyable! We got to see Pearl Harbor, which was a very overwhelming experience. I had done so much reading about that day and to finally see it all first hand was amazing! We just stood on the Arizona Memorial and stared at the ship below the water level. It made me think a lot about things!

In three weeks, we are traveling to Chicago so that i can run the Chicago Marathon! It will be a fun and exciting trip. I have gotten a lot of quality training in the past 4 months, so I optimistic about it all. Plus while we are there we get to visit with some family and friends that we haven't gotten to see in a long time! We are really excited about the trip!

I'll post pictures, once I go through all of them from our many trips! We miss and love everyone!
