Run Joe, Run

Last spring Joe and I, along with our little boys, participated in the Running With Angles 5K. There was an essay contest that Joe entered that you were to write about why you were running this 5K. Joe wrote about Scott and of course won. What did he win? The privilege or running the St. George Marathon (no the contest didn't pay for it just gave you a guaranteed entry). So the training began, but only on days it was convenient or appealing.

The first weekend of October we headed down to St. George with my parents. We stayed at a neighbors house down there. We ate yummy food and had a great weekend.

I am so proud of Joe for attempting and completing a marathon! I think he has more in his future.

Joe is ready to head out bright and early. I mean dark and early.

On our way to drop him off at the shuttle.

Good-bye! I hope the next time I see you that you will still be alive. Good luck!

He crosses the finish line!

Exhausted!

Much needed liquid.

Yay! You are a WINNER!

Salt Lake 5K

This year I set two New Year's resolutions. I am proud to say I am doing great. One goal was to participate in the Salt Lake 5K. Notice I said "participate". Due to having a c-section I couldn't start working out until February. Then I got bronchitis and Parker was in the hospital. Excuses, excuses, I know. I was much, much slower than the last time I did this race but that is okay. At least I did it.

Here are a some of the people I met up with for the race. Wendy, Rachael, Carrie Ann, Me, Jillian
