The purpose of the trip was because back in December Naomi invited us to sign up for the Canyonlands Half Marathon with her. Assuming it would be a good motivation to get off winter pounds, we signed up. Wrong assumption! Neither of us trained, so luckily there was also a 5 mile run we could switch to and still get the half marathon t-shirt. Winning!
The fun of just 5 miles is that I carried my camera so Naomi and I could take pictures of each other along the way (note: posing for running photos is more difficult than one would think).
Five mile finishers,
Half Marathon finishers,
and what I get for trying to take more photos with both Aaron and me in them.
We went to Delicate Arch Saturday evening and I did a crappy job at photos except for this one (I love Diane's jump!).
Sunday morning Aaron and I were going to take a bike ride but it was much colder than I was prepared for in the cycling clothes department. So we went to Dead Horse Point which was a SPECTACULAR decision.
We have a May return trip in the works, I can't wait.

Jealous times a million.
I miss those crazy red rocks and you and Naomz and camping.
Gorgeous pics, and truly lovely ladies.
Oh, and Aaron is nice too. ;)
xox
moab is not a bad drive for me. just sayin'.
I want to go there someday!!!!
Cracks me up because I did the same thing a few years ago: switched from half to 5 mile at the last minute. It was such a cook race and yes, Moab=charm.
*cool race not cook race.
I love that I felt like I deserved to eat as much as the half marathoners AND that I am pretending to not know Natalie & Dianne in the arch.
It really was a lovely weekend.
