Jane Eyre & Dad's Visit

Dad visited in late June, we had a great time at Snowbird for Father's Day, lounging by the pool, and seeing Michelle star in Jane Eyre the Musical! Enjoyable show, very professional (as professional if not more professional than the most professional play i've seen in Utah). Those many many weeks of Michelle singing at home paid off. In other news, she has quit her job at the bank and is 10,000x happier. Excellent.

Dad decided to get the biggest beer on the menu.

Oil spill in Liberty Park

Still cleaning up after a Chevron pipe burst. No birds, too quiet. Sad for SLC.

State Capitol Half Marathon

Waking up at 5am to run the State Canyon Half Marathon? Starting at Olympus Hills Shopping Center and finishing at the Utah State Capitol, with trips through Parley's Canyon, the U of U and some crazy hills. Easily the hardest long run i've ever attempted, even had a couple of miles of trails (usually straight up). Very pretty course, highly recommended. Knee held up well, i think i'm more tired from waking up at 5am than running 21 kms. Ran a 1.50, only one minute off PB, which considering the difficult i'm very happy with. Next stop: Park City Marathon, August 21st.

Before the race with Erin.
Finish at State Capitol.
The final sprint to the end, running with Tim.

Summer BBQ

First corn of the year means it's summer BBQ season.

Karen, Las Vegas and Bryce Canyon

Karen visited us for a week, she was in the US for the Boston Marathon/work trip and stopped by!

Spent time in Las Vegas, saw Beatles Love, fantastic!
Best photo ever of Karen holding up the Eiffel Tower, not.

Thanks for visiting sis! Come back soon.

Earthquake! Only 5.0, but still. Not fun.

I have coronas in the fridge, now where did that spring weather go?

71 (-1) @ Glendale Golf Course

Broke par for the 2nd time ever today, in our first game of the season at Glendale GC. Solid 1 under par with 3 birdies, great putting, lots of luck (including hitting into a hazard and it hitting a rock and bouncing out) and a 200 yard hybrid into the wind to 4 feet. Michelle had a great game as well going 2 under her handicap!

Thank you High West Distillery

And now we have Michelle's car back. Thank you other person's insurance! (esurance)
