First week of school

Yesterday was my first half marathon (13.1 miles).  I think it was my first time running 10 miles.  The only other race I've paid for is a tri.  Some of my neighbors and I made pancakes in a hotel room and woke up at 4:30 to take school buses to the start.  It was nice to run the canyon without cars whizzing by.  My time was 1:56:21, so about 9 min. per mile.  It was pretty easy... until the last maybe 4 miles.  I am now quite sore.  I would recommend it and do it again, but start training earlier.  I want to cycle and trail run to be kinder to my knees. 

I'm excited we have some new professors who are adjuncts because they work full-time as clinicians.  This is our pediatric semester.

Today was my first time teaching the women I go to church with in Relief Society.  I was nervous, but I learned a lot while preparing the lesson.  Conference talks always seem like the best talk ever when I am trying to learn them well enough to teach about them.

McKay has rocked this summer with his first garden.  It's been fun to have the vegetables from it.
