That is the one of things I completely admire about utah! The colors of the mountains never disapoint in the fall..






Perfect running weather.. ALL day long!! You can go for a run without having to worry about the sun beating 


You down!

RED ROCK RELAY

Yes, I have one more relay this summer! With a group of girls that I completely admire! I can't wait!


This morning when my alarm went off I immediently hit snooze.. then without fail it went off again. Brent asked if I was going and I just said no, thinking in my head I sleep > run.. Then I laid there.. negotiating with myself, trying to fall back asleep.... and guess what.. the alarm went off again.. I couldn't deny it.. besides it was to far out of my reach so I had to get out of bed to turn it off anyway. I grabbed my clothes that I laid out last night and hit the pavement. As I stepped outside I felt the first chill of fall! As I started running I was thinking I should of been wearing a jacket ! Must be September, it was a little chilly! Another sign that fall is coming...

It was 5:45am.. No sign of the sun yet. The dark and dreary days are coming!
I was so happy that I got up and got going, although it wasn't the 5 miles I intended on the night before but I got a good four.

And I got to catch the sunrise!


Sure, bring on the fall... 

Q. If you could pick one season ALL year long what would pick?

Q. Whats your favorite thing about the FALL months?

  1. oh this post made me homesick. i could feel the Utah Fall through the computer! If I could pick one season, it would probably be Utah Fall, although I'm definitely becoming accustomed to the heat since moving to Texas. I still have a few more months before I get some cool running in. Can't wait to see your pumpkin recipes. I love pumpkin!

  4. Gah, spring and fall are my favorites because of the enjoyable not too warm, not too cold weather :) But fall still wins... My birthday, the first day of school, pumpkin, foliage, Halloween and Thanksgiving, bonfires, and hiking adventures :D
