THE SPLASH & DASH

I have a confession to make: I used to HATE running.

I am being absolutely, positively serious! I loved to lift weights, dance, and do other forms of exercise... but running was out of the question. 

in fact, if i had told my own mother that i had gone running, she would have laughed in my face. that is how much i hated it.

 and then... my life changed.

In January, my roommate and I decided to start running in order to prepare for a half-marathon later this year. At first it was awful and I was compelled to run due to my dear roommate's persistence; but then something happened that I never thought would. I started to like running. 

As crazy as it sounds, it is true! Running relaxed me in a way I never believed possible... I even began running without listening to any music. just me and my thoughts on the track.

Some of you may think: "dang, this girl is craaaaaazy!" While others might agree with the freedom that running brings. 

IF YOU FEEL THAT FREEDOM... 

COME PARTICIPATE IN THE BYU BIATHLON or 5k run!

We have affectionately termed this event:

THE SPLASH & DASH

 

The Biathlon includes Beginner, Standard, Elite and Team

Beginner $10 ..... ¼ mile swim, 3K

                                         Standard $12..... ½ mile swim, 5K
                                         Elite $15..... 1 mile swim, 10K Run
                                         Team $20..... 1 mile swim, 10K Run

                                         5k Run $10..... 5K

**The 5K run is for all ages and abilities! So bring friends, kiddos, grandma/grandpa, etc. and come have some fun!**

One of the best parts about the Splash & Dash is..... Prizes for the top 3 (men and women) in each division! Which rocks. No joke. Oh and did I mention that you get an amazing t-shirt if you register!

So, say you have a friend that goes to UVU... or an uncle that lives in Pleasant Grove... and you DESPERATELY want them to run with you. HAVE NO FEAR! You do not need to be a BYU student to participate in the Splash & Dash.

Tickets sold at the BYU Wilkinson Center Information Desk.  You will need to come in to register for the race [in order to get the time/heat that you want!] However, if you are registering for the 5k, you can come the morning-of and sign-up then! This is for all you procrastinators out there! C:

Things A Girl Will Say If You Take Her To BIG BAND NIGHT...

There are a few things in this life that a woman simply appreciates more than the rest...

  One of those things is when her man remembers to do something romantic for Valentine's Day!

You might be reading  this, sweating like a pig and  thinking, "I don't do romantic. I am terrible at being suave. How am I gonna get out of this V-day?" 

Fellas, good news: You CAN be romantic! You CAN be suave! You CAN be the tall, dark, and handsome man that a woman dreams of (even if you physically aren't). 

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret... women don't need all the stereotypical things. All a woman wants is to feel appreciated and know that you have been thinking of her.

One way to do that is to... 

TAKE HER TO BIG BAND NIGHT!

 Boys, let me tell it to you straight. 

 Girls like food.

Girls like music, particularly the succulent sounds of saxophones and sweet singers.

Girls like any excuse to dress up in adorable 1940s outfits.

(Girls like any excuse to dress up because they want to be complimented by you on how adorable they are.)

Girls like DANCING!

and Girls especially like it when dancing means you get to hold them close. 

So men... take this moment to think of your special someone and make it your personal goal to be the "hot topic" between her and her friends. She will not stop talking about how amazing you are if you treat her like a lady and take her to BIG BAND NIGHT!
