The Bair Gutsman - Conquer Thy Self!

John and I decided to run the Bair Gutsman race this year. The Bair Gutsman is basically a half marathon - half up farmington canyon and half down to the finish. (Adventure running at its best. Mileage is around 12 - 14 miles but is based on how many times you get lost. First half of race is uphill, second half is running down on dirt road) Brutal? yes, but so much fun!! Thanks to Amy for running with us! Here are some dirty pictures... don't get too excited, i mean actual dirt, srapes and sweat. Unfortunately, we didn't have a camera during the race, but these were taken after. (Can't really tell, but we were covered from head to toe in dirt.)

Pirates!!

What goes on when Mom is trying to read: The scary Capain John Hook led his scurvy pirates on a dangerous, adventure filled journey to search for hidden treasure. Some say the treasure was never found and that it was cursed to remain hidden forever to drive pirates crazy with years of endless searching, others say Captain Hook found the treasure years before and has it stashed in an overseas bank account. What really happen to the treasure, we'll never know...
