Pioneer Day 5K

On Saturday I ran the Pioneer Day 5K w/ my friend, DaNae.  My husband usually runs races with me but he has to watch our son & his eight year old brother that we were watching for a few days.  He did take some awesome pictures of me though!!!

Race morning we got the kiddo's up at 6 o'clock in the morning.  It was easier than I had originally thought.  We got there about 20 minutes before the race started.  Ten minutes before I had to go to the bathroom.  I found the port-a-potties but the line was crazy long and there was only four potties.  A few minutes before the race started I decided to give up on waiting for a potty.  I didn't have to go that bad.  Kind of stinks to run with a semi full bladder though.

The race started and I stayed with my friend, DaNae, for the first mile of the race.  Then I went ahead.  This race was different then the other 5K's I've ran because they actually had water stations on the 5K course.  Before this race, I had only trained for two weeks since the past month or so have been crazy.  I finished the race at 38:26.  Definitely not a PR, but still felt good about the race.

Wanna get DIRTY?

...then this race is for you!

Doesn't it look like fun?

Still alive!

It has almost been a month since I last posted.  The past few weeks have been CRAZY!  Between a trip to St. George, family reunion, visits from family, funeral, and a cold that doesn't seem to end I haven't been able to get much running in.  Sad to say I haven't ran in the past two weeks.

I'm hoping to get back into running next week through once I'm all better.  At least I hope to be better by then.  I really do miss my morning runs.

I have put running a half marathon on the back burner though.  I've made a new goal though to improve on my 5K time and I'd love to do a 10K by the time cold weather hits.  I have updated my list of races I'd like to run and ANYONE is welcome to join me.  I love company!
