The Dirty Dash

I am so excited today because I have finally finished registering my dance girls and I for the Soldier Hollow 5k Dirty Dash on June 4th! This is going to be such a fun bonding experience! Below is the course map! Looks like tons of fun right?!

Well if that wasn't enough to get you excited.. Here are some GREAT pictures I have found!!

I seriously can't wait for June 4th!!!

It has been said, "The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure".. But I say, Stop fretting and let greatness and success become available to you! Work hard, stay committed and maybe even get a little "dirty" while your at it ;) YOU can achieve your dreams!!

Pictures!

Being the perfectionist that I am, I have been slaving away for the past hour and half adding pictures to my blog! At first my layout had them all on one side and I decided that I didn't like it. So I changed the layout and then the pictures were formatted to the wrong size?! I didn't realize that the pictures wouldn't just adjust.. that would be too easy! So I had to go back and reload them. In the end, the frustration was worth it because I am loving the new additions! I hope you all enjoy them :)

FYE :)

I just realized in my last blog that I typed FYE instead of FYI.. haha I decided that I actually like FYE better.. "For Your Entertainment" sounds much more fun so I'm going to go with it!!

So today at the Gym was quite a humorous event. I love the variety of people that go to the gym and give it their all to get a good workout. I started my workout with my favorite cardio machine.. The StairMaster/ treadmill/ killer machine. I'm not sure of its real name but it is my fave. I climbed for a whole 25 minutes today and during that time I had the pleasure of walking next to the worlds fastest and most determined stair climber I have ever seen! haha I really am not sure how fast she was going but all I know is that had she gone for 10 more seconds she would have fallen off! Her body was completely bent over and she was grasping onto the handles with everything she had! haha I think i'll stick to level 9..

After the stair climb and my attempt at a creative upper body work out using just free weights I took a seat on the mats labeled something clever like "Creative Corner" ha basically its where people stretch and do crunches. So there I am listening to my gym tunes, stretching and zoning out when all of a sudden this buff dude wearing sketchers shape ups sits down right next to me! He was so weird! He kept breathing really hard acting like everything he did took elite athlete strength. I seriously had to move it was too funny!

Alright so last event at the Sports Mall! I was getting ready to leave packing everything in my cool little bag I got in Disney World when this girl comes walking into the locker room with a thing of BEN & JERRY'S???? haha What is this world coming too?! Ben & Jerry's ice-cream at the gym? really?! Well I sure couldn't believe it!

Ok my friends.. I hope this blog was at least somewhat entertaining for you! and I hope that you can be inspired to go to the gym and have fun checking out all of the funny people around you.

~Health Tip~

Whether it be in 1 bout of 30 or 3 bouts of 10, just 30 minutes of exercise each day can help you get back into shape and feeling more full of POSITIVE energy!!! :)

Back to School

Well spring break flew by as usual! Alex and I are back into school and have just 6 weeks left til summer! But.. summer is only going to last for about two weeks because both of us will be taking classes this summer semester. I am excited to teach some group fitness classes for the university as part of my major. I will also be taking a nutrition class, writing class and a coaching class! Alex will be busy with some macro economics classes. Sounds very exciting right?!

As for some real exciting news.. :) Alex and I are planning to go to Lake Havasu during the break!! We are SOO excited and grateful that my parents are going to let us stay in their condo there! I haven't been there in a couple years and I can't wait to take Alex. We are also trying to plan a stop in Vegas on the way so we can see a Cirque show!! Can't wait for this semester to be over and for this great summer trip to come!

Just an FYE I have not been able to upload anymore pics because my laptop has currently decided not to charge? So I have to use Alex's computer for a while.. but I promise more pics are coming! Also, my three followers.. I promise to bring some inspiration to you soon, with school I unfortunately do not have so much time to blog.. but I WILL get on it!!

Little Update

Alex and I met back in high school and have now been married for almost 9 months! Things are going great! We are super busy and have pretty opposite schedules.. But I swear I love him more and more with each day. We are both going to school at the University of Utah. Alex is majoring in Accounting and I am almost finished with my degree in Exercise and Sports Science! I have chosen to emphasize on Fitness Leadership and am also getting a minor in Nutrition. I will graduate this December and can not wait! Alex also works at Discover Card and is amazing at what he does! I have been really loving those bonus checks :) I am currently a manager at my dad's restaurant JCW's and I am loving it. I also teach at Revolution, a dance studio and love that it hardly ever feels like work :) My dance kids rock! Alex and I are currently enjoying Spring Break. It could not have come at a better time! After this week we have 6 weeks left of the semester! We can do it!

Also, I have recently applied to be the assistant drill team coach at Brighton High School and am getting very anxious to hear whether I have gotten the job or not. I should be getting the word soon! My sister Erica is currently on the team and I have greatly enjoyed watching her throughout this past season. She is amazingly talented!

With this blog I again will be writing about Alex and I. I will be posting things that involve health, fitness, dance and nutrition. Also, I will be sharing anything that I find inspiring such as quotes, pictures and videos! I am new at this so it will take me a while to figure it all out!!
