we got out the spring scented soap,
and we have mangos dehydrating for afternoons hiking in the mountains.
Yippie!

Spring Has Sprung
It's official! Spring is here. Grandpa Kemp's magnolia tree is putting on a show outside our kitchen window,
we got out the spring scented soap,
and we have mangos dehydrating for afternoons hiking in the mountains.
Yippie!

May the Force Be With You...
The picture is a little fuzzy; just a quick shot with my iphone. Dylan was over the moon excited to meet Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper.
Best. Day. Ever.

My Little Stars
Yesterday, Dylan performed an African dance with his school class. They have been working with someone from the Tanner Creative Dance Program (University of Utah) for 8 weeks. Their dance focused on space, energy, and movement. It was awesome! And I have to say that Dylan's interpretation of the Nile River was amazing...Luke and I were busting our buttons! I was most impressed by his confidence and strength.
Back in December, Isabelle was able to perform at the Rose Wagner Theatre as the lead in The Little Match Girl. She took my breath away. She did four shows, and I don't think there were many dry eyes in the house at the end of any of them. She danced so many extra hours and did so much extra barre work...she's a rock star!
I couldn't be more proud :)

New Blogger...Luke!
Luke and Mark are going to take us along on their journey to the finish line at the Wasatch 100. Here is the welcome to their blog, written by Mark (there is a link on my "good places to visit" list):
Welcome.
We have many friends and family that have flooded us with support after learning our fates as entrants into the Wasatch 100. We have been amazed and excited to receive such support. One of the main things that is said is "keep us posted." We know of no better way to do this than through a blog format.
The title of this blog is two fold. Revelation speaks to the apostolic theme of Mark and Luke, our two favorites. More importantly the revelation that we have both had while on the trail. We both feel that this was "made for us." Cheesy to be sure but it is what it is. The second part of the name speaks to elevation. We will be climbing and descending close to 27,000 feet both ways. Up and Down! Plus I love the word elevation. I think it speaks to rising up.
Erik Weihenmayer was the first blind person to summit Everest. He is an incredible inspiration to me and once said, “A lot of people say that they summit the mountain for the view. The beautiful view but I just think, and I may be biased, but I think
it is hogwash. I think it’s a complete lie! You don’t suffer for twenty days or
a month to see a view. A lot of times you are just looking into a sea of clouds
anyway. I think a summit is not a place on a mountain at all. A summit to
me is a symbol. It’s a symbol that with the force of our minds, our
bodies, our souls and with the power of these two small hands that we can transform
our lives into something miraculous!”
It is our hope to do something miraculous!
This blog will include training plans, re-caps of training runs, product reviews, race reviews and much much more. I imagine that it will be cheesy at points and serve somewhat therapeutic.
Enjoy!

And He's Off!
Luke got in to the Wasatch 100!
I've done a fair bit of research since he put his name in the lottery, and this section of race information stuck out to me:
"Be Prepared: This event is extremely demanding, and should only be undertaken by athletes in excellent physical condition. All entrants should be familiar with basic first-aid, and know the symptoms and treatment for heat exhaustion, hypothermia, frostbite, and altitude sickness. Some course sections between aid stations exceed nine miles. Runners should be well-equipped to care for themselves and effect self-rescue if necessary. Only runners who can demonstrate successful ultrarunning experience or its equivalent will be considered for entry."
Really? Effect self-rescue?
