RUN



So i ran a race for the first time Saturday morning:) I was very excited to do this 5k race b/c it is a sense of accomplishment for me. I did the BYU Rex Lee Cancer run and ran for my grandpa, who was fairly recently diagnosed with cancer. I was proud to run for my grandpa. I also needed some motivation to run because i really hate running. I have never really enjoyed it but i am a competitive person and i enjoy competing in things so their you go. I trained for the run for about 7 weeks. My goal was to be under 30 minutes and be within the first 20% of my age group/gender and have my average mile be 10 minutes. I finished at 30:02 (was my chit time, not the time in the picture) and my average mile was 9:41 and i was 65 out 287 (which is 23%) out of girls ages 20-24. I was just barely under my goal of finishing in 30 minutes and within 20%. But i did hit my goal of my average mile time:) To be honest i was a little upset when i crossed the finish line b/c i didnt hit all my goals but i realized that at the begining of the year i could not even run a mile without being so tired, I have come a long way. That is an accomplishment in it self.
At the begin of the year i decided to really get into shape and do the things i love a lot more often. I knew i would have to be very dedicated and make the time to do this. It was very hard at first but then after a couple of weeks it became a part of my everyday activities. I am doing the Steel Triathlon at the end of May. I am starting my swimming training next week. I will relax on the running and increase the swimming. I go to spin twice a week but i will start riding outside b/c the weather is getting a little nicer. I am so excited for this triathlon. It was so motivating on Saturday to be around a bunch of people that like to exercise and take care of their bodies. I am just glad i am healthy and can exercise my body. I want to try of a 10k in July but not 100% committed yet.
So the BYU Basketball team this year is awesome. Jimmer is HUGE. People here are crazy about him. Last Saturday we went to the last home game of the season and it was so much fun. The energy was amazing and the team played great together. We waited in line all morning just to get in and it was way worth it. We (the students) even learned a dance and performed it during on of their time out, towards the end of the game. It was so fun to be a part of. I love to dance so i had a blast and Norris even learned it too:)
School is going alright, i cant wait for the semester to be over:) When school is over that means I will be one step closer to warmer days, a cruise, seeing family, being tan, long bike rides, and closer to graduating :) I am learning lots in school but it just take up too much time. Anyways that is what is going on in life. Norris is always busy with school work, his calling, and participating in some type of spot. He is crazy. He is on a football team and three basketball teams.
P.S. Cant wait for the bachelor tomorrow night. Only two girls left, who will he pick. I want Emily to win:)
This is the link to the flash mob dance we did at the game. You can see Jessica, Harrison, Norris and I in the same row. So fun!!!
