Running is not in my vocabulary

This last weekend was the Canyonlands 1/2 Marathon down in Moab. No, I didn't run it. Must I reiterate that besides my new hobby (previous post), I rarely exert myself in any form of physical exercise. But, I do have a lot of friends who choose a healthier lifestyle than me and I support them in those choices. And by support I mean join them on a fun road trip, sleep while they are running and then meet them at the finish line to congratulate them.

So, what I am trying to say is that I went to Moab this past weekend. We hiked, ate, slept, [they] ran and then ate some more. The weather was awesome and I discovered that I have seasonal depression, which can only be cured by a long weekend and warm weather.

A few pics from Arches:



And a few pictures of my friends that ran the 1/2 marathon. Look how happy they all are that they are done. Pretty sure I was just as happy that I didn't run it. Because if I had, they would have been waiting about 2 more hours before I crossed the finish line. Congrats to all that ran! You're better people than I will ever be.



And just because, I took a picture of this total stranger. He was hot. That was my only reason for taking his picture. Pretty sure that was his girlfriend next to him. I have no shame.

I was looking at these pictures on Facebook and realized that pretty much everyone you went with ran. I was cracking up. I thought you were going down with a big group or people and maybe one or two were running. I'm proud of you for sleeping.

Yea, that 3rd picture with the arch has my friend Kyley standing at the bottom. I didn't mean for the picture to turn out like that, but was surprised when it turned out pretty cool.
