Spanish Fork Half Marathon - 9/11

We all won something in the top 3!

I decided about 4 weeks out that I was going to do the Spanish Fork Half Marathon. I have never done this race but have heard about it for a couple of years and thought it would be fun.

It worked out also that my friend/co-worker, Mandy McClellan, was going to do the race also. I was so excited to know I had a friend doing the same race. It is definitely more fun when you have a friend there! :)

I felt pretty good during the race. Roy and my two little girls were there to cheer me on at different sections of the race. :) I love that!

I was hoping to finish before 2 hours but be faster than my time at the Utah Valley Half Marathon. If was was really lucky - try to beat my first 1/2 marathon time before I had kids. :) I am pleased to announce I finished in less than an hour and beat my last race time! Woohoo! :) Also, to my huge surprise, I came in third place in my age division! I was so excited!!

After all the awards were given out I saw that my cousins all received awards...so of course we had to take a picture! :) I didn't even know they were going to run the race. :) So fun!

Mommy Model Photo Shoot/Voting - Vote for Me!!

Dear Aunts, Uncles, Brother & Sister-in-laws, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews, Friends, Co-workers, Ward Members, Acquaintances, etc. Well, this has been a long process and anxiously awaiting for this all to happen. Some of you facebookers have probably seen my new pictures I had posted around in June. I actually had these taken a couple of weeks after Mother's Day.

I decided to enter a fun contest for women ages 25 or older who are married, OR have kids! It's a pick yourself up and put on your Hot Heels contest that just makes the average woman feel like Something More than a spit-up/poop covered/overworked/tired gal! :)

The #1 Rule in this contest is to wear sexy, flirty, hot heels! This is actually what everyone will be voing on! Fun huh! Whoever gets the most votes will win a free Family Session photoshoot with Winkfotos plus a free 16x20 print from the shoot...that is what I am aiming for! So I am going to have to work like mad to get everyone I know to go to http://www.mommymodelsblog.com/ between Tuesday, September 7 starting at 10 a.m. to Tuesday, September 14 to end at 10 a.m. to vote for my shoes.

When you get to the home page click on "Vote Here" and my shoes are "Linda #9". It looks like the poll only allows one vote per IP address (one per computer) to make it easier for them to keep track of everything. You will see the picture of the shoes and then scroll down and you will click on the circle and then click "vote" at the bottom.

Here are some of the pictures that were taken at the photo shoot. It was a blast! The photographer, Em, does an amazing job! She definitely has a talent!

Don't forget to vote for me this week!!! September 7-14!!! Thanks Everyone!!
