Goldilocks & Dancing

Today was the Goldilocks GIRLS only bike ride in Herriman, Utah! You can choose how far you ride, anywhere from 20 to 1oo miles!! It was my first bike ride and unfortunately my first bike accident!! I wasn't too far into it and I crashed!!! After the paramedics said it was up to me whether I continued or not I chose to continue!! It had already been a big deal for me to do the ride because I had earlier in the week injured my ankle from running and didn't know if I was going to be able to do it. I figured I had gone through so much to get here I couldn't just quit now!! I continued on and in the end rode 65 miles in 6.5 hours (crazy, I know I realize that now)!!!!

This was definitely the worst of my injuries!! Road rash is 10 times more painful than it looks in this picture, just saying!! I am feeling the pain now but it was a fun experience in the end (except for the crashing part) and hopefully now that my first crash is out of the way there won't be anymore (or I might have to find a new sport)!!:)

Finish Line

While I was doing the bike ride Carlie was at a Dance Competition. We didn't know she was going to have a dance competition the same day when I signed up for the Goldilocks! In the future we will not do 2 major events in the same day, too chaotic and stressful!! Carlie did so well though and had a fun time!! She performed a Jazz dance and Ballet dance.
