I am a finisher of the Mapleton Moonlight Half Marathon. It has been my favorite half marathon I have ever ran, I've done Moab and St. George as well.
Glow Sticks were all over. People had them around their necks, ankles, hands and even in their hair. There was no way a person could go unseen.
My favorite part about this half marathon is how relaxed it was. The race started at 9 and the winner had to cross the finish line at MIDNIGHT! It was nice because racers could start at any time. My friends and I started at 9:30pm. We had a good steady pace, but I ran faster the last mile or so. I finished at 11:56:56. SO CLOSE!!! I didn't care much, I'm just glad I FINISHED!
If anyone wants to run a half marathon, I would recommend this one! 10/10

Elder Brad Garlock enters MTC
Today starts my little brother's two years of his mission. My brother is going to the Portland Oregan Spanish Speaking mission. He will stay in the Provo MTC for six weeks and then labor in Oregan. Lately I have been feeling patient and irritated with Brad. He would leave his underwear on the bathroom floor, plates and crumbs on the couch (two days after I vaccuumed) and would take FOREVER to get a list done. AHHHH he drove me CRAZY some days.
However, I had to say goodbye to him last night and I'm going to miss him more than I thought. This was our conversation.
Me: "Well I probably won't see you tomorrow morning so I"ll say goodbye to you tonight. Too bad I can't give you a hug" (he was set apart as an elder earlier that evening).
Brad: "I can give you a hug"
Me: "I'm a girl"
Brad: "yeah, but you're my sister"
My heart just melted when I heard those words come out of his mouth. Bradley gives me a hard time and tells me how it is, doesn't involve any fluff in a conversation ( which i appriecate). It may seem that he is a little harsh with me, but I now KNOW inside he truely does LOVE ME! and I KNOW he is going to miss me. He may NEVER admit it, but I KNOW! haha

In Training
As most of you know, I like to be active as much as I can. On that note I decided start a bucket list that I want to fiinish before I leave. Here are some items I have chosen.
1. Hike Mt. Timpanogos (doing that this weekend!)
2. HIke the G with Tiffany Hayden (girl from council. She has never done it before and I promised her I would hike it with her before I left).
3. Run two half marathons. The first one is a Moonlight half in Mapleton. It's starts at 9PM and you have to finish before Midnight! The race is August 12th! it's coming up! The second half marathon is the Salt Lake City on Sept 3rd, a couple of weeks before I fly out for the MTC.
4. Have reunions with my former roommates and institute council.
5. Attend the Temple weekly- Let me know if you want to go & I would be delighted to go with you!
6. Have as much fun as possible.
Not a very long bucket list, but I wanted to keep it simple because most of my summer is being dedicated to prepare for my mission. I didn't want to distract myself too much.
