Stuff White People Like...

This blog is so hilariously true, that I will dedicate a whole post on my blog about it. Often, we wonder, why am I the way I am.... is everyone like this? Well this blog may be able to answer some of those questions. http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/ I will note a couple of my favorites because there are a ton of posts, you can search for these if you would like.

#27 Marathons - In my opinion, this entire post is true. My guess is 80% of marathon finshers have that exact picture! My favorite line... "Not to win, just to run."
#63 Expensive Sandwiches
#42 Sushi - I love this one because it seems Sushi is a big thing this days. My favorite line... "To them, it’s everything they want: foreign culture, expensive, healthy, and hated by the ‘uneducated.’"
#81 Graduate School
#76 Bottles of Water - You have to read this one, it's hilarious!
#29 80s Night - my favorite line.... "Also, less respected artists like Wham, Rick Astley and Cameo are still easy for white people to dance to."
#15 Yoga - My favorite... "Yoga is also an expensive activity. It gives white people the chance to showcase their $80 pants. "

I find it so hilarious because I fall into some of these "white people" traps. Although, I am sure it is not all about race this guys certainly has some funny things to say!

Moab Half Marathon


Traci and I ran another half in Moab. We had a really fun time!! The weather was beautiful and it was a gorgeous run, aside from the last 2 miles on the highway... and we didn't even get a late night phone call to the hotel telling us to quiet down! To get in the Spring half marathon you have to put your name in a lottery and be chosen to run. There were 5,000 runners and luckily Traci and I both got in, whoo hoo - Who wants to do that alone! I was suprised how many people from Salt Lake I saw in Moab on such a busy weekend. Run on little runners!
