Lake Tahoe Vacation

So after almost 4.5 years of marriage, Jeff and I finally took a vacation! Our last one -- our honeymoon! I guess that's what happens when you are in the military.

We had a lot of fun though! Jeff's parents have a vacation rental/timeshare right next to the Heavenly resort on the Nevada side and gave it to us for the week. We went skiing 5 days and took one day to go on a Lake Tahoe cruise. I sure am glad that I got better at skiing when we lived in California (when you go every weekend, it kinda just happens) and that I'm in much better shape from running helped too. I didn't fall down the whole time we were there and I was never sore. So all in all -- it was a successful ski trip!

(I do have to admit, one time we were going up a lift I dropped one of my poles and no one brought it up for me. So Jeff gave me his, which were shorter and lighter than the ones I had been using....so I lost my balance going down the mountain --just once -- and ended up turned around, skis crossed and on my knees -- but I'm not counting that as a fall!)

I'll update the post with pictures soon.

2010 Race Photos

So this weekend marks the start of my training for my second half marathon, the Shamrock Half Marathon. So in honor of this, I decided to post some of my "crossing the finish line" race photos from 2010 to remind myself how far I've come.

One thing I've learned from posting these -- I need to take better "crossing the finish line" photos! Enjoy :)
