The Best Dam Race ever!

Well, lots has been going on since i last posted! In fact i wont write about most of it because it takes too long to type out honestly...I learned how to use an ice axe- with a few bruises and tumbles down a mountain on the way, i acquired the skill. Saturday was the Teton Dam Marathon, and my adventure race team did it as a relay. So basically we each ran about 4 miles, with the anchor person running 6. I ran the 5th leg, which was all the hills. My team is competitive, so i ran pretty fast up those hills! But then at the end sprinting into the finish i had a stomach ache from the running and the oranges i had eaten jsut before. i ended up puking them all over the road before i made it to the finish!! it was so gross, with oranges everywhere. I was really suprised because i have never puked while working out or running or anything. and then i was mad because i threw up. but now i think its kind of cool, because it means i pushed myself hard. and thats something i struggle with sometimes in working out. well anyhoo then monday and tuesday i went to targhee and worked with scott wood on the ropes course and lead games and activities with some middle and high school groups. It was really fun and i learned a ton about being a group leader and facilitating things. I loved it. it was snowing like crazy all day too. i was hurting to snowboard!!! there i am, AT targhee, my love, and its snowing all day, just DUMPING, and i am not boarding. i mean, what IS that? anyhoo, I am doing well lately. i am out of money, but i am having fun and i like my classes. beleive it or not, i love my eternal marraige class. i learn so much about the gospel in it, and i get to read tons of really good talks and things by the bretheren. Well anyway i have to go get ready to run, so later skaters
