red hot

we spent the weekend in moab so my crazy husband could run the moab red hot 55k (that's 34 miles) with his brother. we spent friday hiking around and exploring. the guys got checked in for their race and "carbo-loaded" (actually, adam decided it would be best to eat a pork burrito the size of a brick the night before he ran an ultra marathon)

friday: here we are awaiting our death on the train tracks
so much exploring so little time

 just takin a little break in the cavity of a rock
 underneath  the arch
gotta love all that red rock
saturday was race day.  my sister-in-law and i took her kiddos to a couple of the stops to cheer on our guys. here they are at stop #3 (17 miles in) and doing great! our car could only make it up to this one stop, all the other stops were inaccessible by car.
i ran up from the finish line to meet them so i could finish the last few miles with them. here we are at the finish line, they were so happy to see the end!
 brothers...they were a great team!
 couldn't be prouder of my man, what an accomplishment! even after a long day of running, 70mph winds, rain and crazy elevation gain he still was happy as a clam and smiling.

That is amazing. Incredible really. I've been looking for some capris to run in. Where did you get yours? or better yet where do you like to get your running stuff? I know you run a lot and I just started up. I just got a bunch of new stuff but I still am looking for some capris and tops. and you are always so stinking cute!

oh my you look so cute!

PS We decided last night that when Kyle does Amazing Race, if he wants any real shot at winning, he ought to ditch me and go with someone like Adam.
Big Money, Big Money!
