Book Tag

I was tagged by my sister-in-law, Brittney.

Rules:
1. Open nearest book.
2. Turn to page 123.
3. Record sentence five.

"Certainly," said Fanny, with gentle earnestness.

I love Jane Austen. When Travis found this out he checked out the only two books she wrote, that I have not read, from the school library. This quote is from Mansfield Park. We have been recording all the new Masterpiece Series (remade Jane Austen movies on PBS). I wish Travis would watch them with me, but he just falls asleep. So this is a hobby that I have to do on my own.

Half Marathon


I ran a half marathon in Ogden Canyon on Saturday. Now I can take a break from running, because I am burned out. I got my best time ever, 2:00:55. That beat my last time by 5 minutes. I wanted to get under 2 hours, but I did not train very well after going to Vegas. I did great for the first seven miles, they were all at an eight minutes/mile pace. Then I was feeling tired. Since I barely missed my goal I am going to have to run another half again someday. In these pictures I look like I'm not going to make it, but isn't running so fun! I am having a hard time walking today and am so glad that it was conference, so I did not have to move off the couch all day.
