Staycation weekend fun!

I feel like I just went on vacation! I had such a fun weekend! I've felt like I've needed a break from everyday life so I made it a goal to have a fun filled three days and I did it! First off, I must mention my half marathon I completed on Wednesday! It was a huge accomplishment and I had a great time! I ran the whole 13.1 miles and finished in 2 hours and 15 minutes! 

Friday night I went to shoot the tube. This was so much fun! If you live in Utah, you need to go do this now! 

This is the before picture.

To shoot the tube, you get inside the pipe, have someone put the boards up and let the water fill to the top. Then the person lets go of the boards which allows the water to shoot you forward. So fun!

After. 

On Saturday, David and I drove two hours to go see Spiral Jetty. This is man made and can only be seen when the water is low enough. It was awesome! The water was pinkish-purplish and with it being overcast, the only thing was simply awesome! 

This is the view from above. You are able to walk along the rocks around the whole spiral. 

Up the road a bit was some posts sticking out of the ground. They looked cool so we explored there as well. 

It was definitely worth the four hour drive! 

Sunday, mike and I hiked to Red Pine Lake. It was a 7 mile hike round trip, uphill the whole way, but the view was beautiful!

It started raining with one mile to go, so we ran. All in all it was a fun hike. I was glad to do what I really love with the person I love most! Annnnnddd I convinced him to get me an early bday present, hiking sandals! Wahoo!
