Summer, don't leave to fast

     Lately my life has consisted mostly of working with fun things in between (I complain about it way to much). I've been doing the usual at freddy fred fred's, and I also got to babysit my cute neighbs for a couple days. It was fun not to mention a nice break form pumping gas but I think I'll put off having kids for a good, long while.
       Last week I started tutoring these two autistic boys, Rylan and Braxton, who happen to be the two cutest, sweetest twelve and thirteen year olds alive. I'm the luckiest girl in the world. When I say tutoring I really mean reading with them for thirty minutes, than playing basketball, swinging, connect four, sorry and hide and go seek for three hours. Tough job.
     Oh yeah I forgot to mention before my life turned into working everyday I went to lake Powell for girls camp. It was THE BEST. It didn't feel like girls camp at all. We had two houseboats, 4 speedboats and willing drivers around the clock. I did everything I wanted as much as I wanted and than some. There was constantly boats out pulling the tube, no matter what. It was a good way to end young women's!
     One more things. Remember last October when I decided to run the STG marathon the night before with no training? Well you probably don't unless you're one of my close friends but I did. It was a good experience and I'm glad I did but during the 26.2 miles I had of soul searching my ipod was broken I decided I wanted to be prepared the next time I decided to do any race. Well, guess what? This Saturday I'm running the Bryce Canyon half marathon and I'm going in prepared with the 3 miles I ran this morning the first time I've ran since the beginning of Summer. Why do I always do this to myself?! I'm hoping if my legs still work after and I don't have a heart attack it will give me the motivation to start my training for the marathon in October! Now that I'm thinking about it the last half marathon I ran in 6th grade I didn't train for either I think my family was waiting a while for me to finish. It's time to break the habit now! My reward after Bryce Canyon = nice family time at the cabin, and the next week Lake Powell. I love Summer, free time, and vacations!
