Countdown

SO, if you haven;t been reading my blog then you might not know that I am getting ready for the Neola 5K which is going to be ran on July 4th here in Neola where I live! I will say that at first I was really scared, but I was down at the gym today and I can 1.5 miles with a pretty fair amount of ease. I believe that the 5k is like 3.3 miles total BUT I am so happy becuase our running course IS ALL DOWN HILL! :)

YEAH FOR US! LOL!! We are running down from the sawmill up here in Neola towards the church and it is all down hill. I am actually getting excited about it! PLUS, I am even more excited to let you know that I am going to doing barrel racing stuff on Mon nights in Duchesne! YEAH FOR ME! LOL!!

Yes, I am a dork BUT I am just so happy to be able to do this stuff because I have taken the time to get healthier! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

What did YOU do this weekend?

So what did YOU do this weekend?

ME, well I participated in the 3rd Annual Diabetes Fun Show in Vernal, Utah at Western Park. Check out my photo slideshow up above to see what we did!

Out of 11 events, I placed in 7 of them. I took 3rd place in 3 events and 4th place in 4 others. Not bad for a first timer, eh? I had fun and so did the kids AND OH MAN, AM I SORE!!! LOL!!

I have rode my horse a lot but it is normally on the mountain and so then to go and do events like this really put my body and past few months of excercise to the test! It is definitely a lot more work than I realized. BUT it was so worth it. This entire event came about because 2 young ladies decided that they wanted to help others and so they decided to help raise money for the juvenile diabetes research fund. This is their 3rd year doing it and this year I was able to go out and join in the fun!

If you decide that next year you want a day of just laughs and horses and kids and fun and all of it meant for a good cause, then make sure you join us!
