UEA Weekend

This last weekend we went to Moab so Brian and I could run the other half marathon. My mom was going to run it with me but she hurt her leg and couldn't run. We drove down there Saturday morning and got in around 3 or 4. We had to go to this hotel and check in to get our bag and bib. Then we went to check in to our camp ground, my mom went and checked in and we stayed outside and walked Twix. We saw these signs saying no dogs allowed on grass areas. Then we find out that no dogs are allowed which they failed to mention when we made the reservation. They would not let us stay and luckily they gave us a full refund. So we looked for other camp grounds and none of them allow dogs so we had to go find a site up the canyon, after driving 20 min up we finally found a spot that was not taken. It was right off the highway but we were closer to where we had to be for the run. So I guess you could say we saved money and time.


We set up our tents then went into town and ate dinner at the Moab Brewery. They had yummy food and really good home made root beer that is on the top of Robs list now. Then we walked around the shops and headed back so we could get some sleep. We had to wake up early so Rob could drop off me and Bryan to the bus at 7:00 AM. We got on the bus and it took a half hour to get up to the start. It was so cold but they had fire pits and drinks and free shots. Not alcohol shots the cliff GU shots (they are not the best but they do the job). They had like 20 port a potties and there was a line the whole time up until the start at 8:30. The run was so nice we ran along the green river the first couple mile and the view was so beautiful. I finished in 2.40.39 I am proud of that because I didn't train as much as I should have. After the race we stayed for a bit to see if we would win anything which we didn't, then headed to the campsite and packed up.
We took the long way home so we could stop in Beaver and pick up our new puppy. He is black and a chihuahua like twix. He is only 9 weeks old and really small. Twix doesn't like him much but he is getting a lot better with him. His name is Oreo.


Oreo is a lot of fun. When he is awake he runs alot, bounces, tries to chase Twix and plays with the cat too. He is funny with the cat he tries to give her kisses and will tease her. He will always cuddle.
