I did not qualify for the Boston marathon, came within 5 minutes once again. The race course was great, the weather was beautiful, I was all there until mile 22. I was proud of myself for hanging in so long, then my mind went hay-wire. I tried to push myself through the drastic wall, but I could not manage to do it. I felt good with the 3:45 finish I pulled, but I still have the will to do it again, until I achieve my goal. I did take second in my division, so it felt really nice to be recognized for my time.
TOU (Top of Utah) marathon made my top three marathon list. The list goes like this: 1.St.George 2.TOU 3. Salt Lake City. Those are my favorite races of the six different marathons I have ran in Utah. Usually I can judge how a race is going to be by the shirt you get. (sad, but true). Those three races have produced my favorite shirts as well.
This past weekend I went to Body Worlds in SLC. What an amazing exhibit! If anyone gets the chance to go, do not pass it up. I studied kinesiology in college and we went to the cadaver lab a few times. Cadaver's have nothing on these bad boys in the exhibit. This exhibit takes human anatomy to a completely new level. Anyone that is fascinated with the human body will appreciate it!

Wow!!! How long has it been since the last time I blogged? I will update you on my life quickly.
I have a new job. Yes, I will be teaching dance once again at an elementary school. I am teaching in Vernal, Utah. I know, it is a little far from home, but the past few days haven't been so bad here.
The position is full time, and the school isn't as big as the last one I taught at (425 students, verses 1300). The grades are k-5, therefore I won't be dealing with 6th graders.
Today is the day I'm suppose to be putting paper on my walls to decorate. Yikes, my room doesn't look as cute as the ones I'm used to seeing. Teachers, I have to hand it to you, you have a lot of patience dealing with long pieces of butcher paper that move to places you don't want them going. AWWW. FRUSTRATION.
Satruday is yet another marathon that I have trained SERIOUSLY for. The past 16 weeks I have pushed speed and endurance, pulling some 50+ mile weeks. We'l l see if this is the race that will take me to Boston. My average half marathon paces have dropped, putting me at 1:41-1:42 finshes. (That is good)
Peace out for now!
