shin splints attacked a mere 10 days before my marathon!!

NO BUENO!

training was winding down. over 700 miles run total!

pre-race nerves were setting in.

i ran a MARATHON!!! {play by play here, in case you missed it in june.}

i had post-marathon blues.  kind of like postpartum. and i wanted to run another race.

july

i had a fun 4th of july weekend.

i hiked the subway in zion's.  SO fun!

i was really stressed and feeling the pressure of teaching 2nd grade.

we went to the river.

august

golden spoon opened.

and i go there a lot. like once a week. sometimes twice. one time katie and i went three times {we went on tuesday and they told us the grand opening was friday and saturday and you get free yogurt! so we went friday and saturday for a total of 3 times that week! hasn't happened since, nor will it.}

my classroom was coming together, thanks to help from katie and some friends.
