Moab 2010!

We went to Moab again for the Half Marathon. Tiggy and David weren't able to come this year, but we had some new recruits. Rachael and Trevor brought there friends Jill and James to run the marathon. Trevor himself decided to run this year too! Josh's brother Jordan and his friend Ian tagged along as well. It was fun! We weren't able to get a cabin this year, so we had to camp out at the RV lodge instead. It wasn't too bad because you have bathrooms and showers, but I don't think I want to do that again, not with our Marathon trip. It was extra cold this year, and it really didn't warm up the whole race. But I set a goal to get under 2 hours and only stop once to use the bathroom (because it's usually 5+!!), and I accomplished that goal! I got 1:55:30. I seriously was so happy I only had to stop once for the bathroom! We took a lot of pictures, so enjoy!

Everyone at Pasta Jay's

Finishing the race!

Josh wanted me to get him some after race snacks. I loaded up!
(Yikes! I look terrible!)
We took a drive on some back roads that evening.




The next day we did the Devils Garden hike (7+ miles) at the Arches.



We were all about this big hole in the ground!
Landscape Arch, which should actually be the Delicate Arch.
(They say the names accidentally got switched, makes perfect sense!)


There was still quite a bit of snow!

Had to go through a "birth canal".
She made it!
Ian took the "easier" route to the top. Looks awesome!
This was a Half Pine Tree. Seriously. The other half is always in the shade. Super weird.



Gorgeous Moab! So much fun!

Winter Ending





Rachael and I went out to take some pictures and play around with our cameras yesterday! Here are a few of the shots I took. I'll add some more as I go through them. It was so much fun finding beauty in a bunch of "weeds" off the highway!
