7th Anniversary---Lucky Vegas Style

We went to Las Vegas for our 7th wedding anniversary. It was a much needed vacation. We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel. It had an awesome swimming pool area and a yummy Mexican restaurant we ate at many times! It was just nice to relax for 3 days and catch up on some sleep!

The highlight of our trip was going to the Billboard Music Awards! It was by far the coolest show I have ever seen in Vegas. We bought tickets last minute and decided to dress up and be Rock Stars ourselves!!! It was at the MGM arena and we did see Neil Diamond and C-Lo Green up close but no autographs. It was like one huge concert for three hours. A few of my favorite performers were- Beyonce', Black Eyed Peas, Keith Urban, and One Republic. It was an anniversary to remember!

1st half marathon...

I ran my first half marathon yesterday! I can't believe I did it!!! I never thought in a million years, I would be able to run 13.1 miles at one time and still be walking! The Ogden half marathon was really awesome! I liked the course because it was slightly downhill most the way. It started in Eden, runs around Pineview Reservoir, down Ogden Canyon, and ends on 25th street. BEAUTIFUL! I actually think getting up at 4 am was the hardest part. I ran it in 2 hours and 24 minutes (average pace of 11 minutes/mile). Not my fastest run, but the fact that it's only been 5 months since having Cruz, not too shabby for my 1st half marathon. I hope I can get faster the more I do it! Here's a toast to my 1st half marathon! Ogden did me proud!!!
