Haunted Village
Saturday night after the Undead Race, Stu and I joined forces with Liz and her boyfriend Mike and hit up Texas Roadhouse before taking our chances with the ghouls at The Haunted Village.

Saturday marked the 1st ever "Night of the Running Dead" up at This is the Place Heritage Park. It was a 5K and my friend Michelle said she was interested in running it and so I jumped at the chance. Upon registering for the race you could choose if you wanted to be a "Survivor" or "Infected". The survivors got a 1 minute head start before the infected AKA zombies started. We of course were zombies. The race was quite fun. We ran around the village and had fun zombies to watch along the way.
Stu didn't dress up so I decided to eat him :)

If you have seen the movie "Zombieland" you will recognize the rules of staying away from zombies.

Life Flight
Stu recently got a promotion at work. He is now on the balloon team. Balloon pumps are placed in people that are critically ill and would be flown to the hospital to allow for care wouldn't not be available at their current facility.
If Stu gets called in and Life Flight has to be flown to the location, Stu gets to go along with Life Flight to monitor the balloon that is inside the patient.
Today Stu had an yearly training on how to: carry his equipment to Life Flight, how Life Flight works and his role on a Life Flight Balloon call.

Marathon
I have come to find out that this is my year for supporting! I was hoping I would be pregnant by the time the St. George Marathon came around this year so I didn't sign up for it back in April. Coleman (my little brother) and Liz (my running buddy) did, so I was first in line to make sure I would be there to support them both.
The marathon was Saturday October 2nd this year. It was HOT waiting for our runners to come in. This is my first time ever supporting a race. It was hard to see the runners come in and not be a part of it. It was not that I wanted to run (I hate running) but I know the high it gives you and the sense of accomplishment and I wanted to be part of that. But my time was on the side lines this year and I embraced it.
I was not sure of Coleman's race time since this was his first race. He wanted to shoot for 4 hours so we were down at the finish line 3h and 30m into the marathon. Luckily Cole uses his iPhone for his music and he text me saying he had some problems with the reaction to the BenGay they put on his legs for muscle soreness, so he was way behind on his time.
We kept looking for Matt (Liz's brother) because I knew Cole and Liz would be close behind. Matt showed up and it was not till another 30 min later Cole came down the way. I saw him coming and ran up to him and gave him a hug and told him how proud I was of him and he was so close to the end and I sent him off. Liz showed up 5 min later and I did the same. Ran up to her to give him a hug and tell her how proud I was of her and sent her to the end.
Cole was sick at the end and had to seek medical attention. Liz was dehydrated and not doing well, but after 30 min of relaxing they both started to feel better.
I was so proud of them both and all they accomplished! I guess being a supporter is not as bad as I thought it was!
Coleman's time was 4:56:53-Not bad for a 1st marathon, it is under 5 hours!
Liz's time was 4:46:35

Homecoming at the U
Homecoming Game 2010 at the University of Utah. The game was at 6PM on Saturday and believe it or not it was still quite warm at 6.
We met up with Brandon and Michelle Harden at Macaroni Grill before the game to celebrate Michelle's birthday. It was so much fun to chat and catch up!
The Utes won 56-3. We ended up leaving in the 3rd quarter since the girl behind us was drunk off her butt and decided to puke everywhere. It was GROSS!

Yellowstone
Before Stu's little brother leaves on his mission in November, we got together to have one last Reeder Family Vacation. We headed up to Island Park in Idaho to a log cabin for some R&R. Stu and I were only able to stay for a few days since he had to work, but we had a good time while we were there. Games, movies, fresh air, Yellowstone, good food and laughter.
Sarah and Stu at the Idaho Sand dunes. If you saw Napoleon Dynamite this was the place where his grandma hurt her hip 4 wheeling on the dunes.
Stu decided to get his workout by climbing a mountain of sand to do jumps off it. I stayed below to take pictures.
Stu was doing front flips in the sand. I caught this one mid flip! And he landed it!
Sarah and Stu (with Trevor) at Old Faithful. Luckily we only had to wait about 20 min for her to blow.
This hot pool was called "Beauty Pool" so all us ladies got our picture taken in front of it.
It was cold the day we went to Yellowstone. The cold wind mixing with the hot pools created a lot of steam. I got this picture of Stu as he walked through a blanket of steam.
Trevor kept saying how nice it would be to dive into one of these hot pools. If you are interested- this one is only 200 degrees, pretty tame compared to some others.
The cabin we stayed at was just a short walk away from a lake. I thought this picture was great since it captured the water, the changing leavings and the mountains in the background.

1st Game of the Season
It has begun. The University of Utah Football season that is. Thursday night was there first game against Pittsburgh.
The game was later (6:30) so that nice, we only had to sit in the sun for a little while. The crappy thing was that for the first time in 4 years the open seat next to me was actually occupied. Someone bought just one ticket for the season. BOO on less space. We always used that space to add more elbow room. In fact the guy that occupied this space kept getting elbowed by me because I was not use to having someone next to me. He stayed close the fence after that happened a few times.
The Utes were doing good and had a good lead..till they lost it. Pitt scored a field goal in the last 20 seconds of the game pushing it into overtime. Pitt lead off and threw and interception which allowed us to kick a field goal and win in OT. What a game!

Stu and Josh
Final score!
