Teton Dam 5K

I DID IT! In January, Michelle and I made a goal to run the 5K this summer. I did good running earlier this year then the weather got really bad. So, just recently, I started running again. Needless to say, I was very under trained. But I was determined! I was really nervous that I wouldn't do that good. I just didn't want to come in dead last. Plus the weather was supposed to be windy and rainy. AND the first like 2/3 of the race was uphill (at least that is how it felt). But luckily, Heavenly Father had mercy on my poor little soul and made it sunny and only partially windy!! I had a goal to finish by 45 minutes and I did it in........40 minutes!!! I was so excited! And we can't forget my sister and sister in law. Michelle got 5Th in her age division and Dayna got 6Th in her division! How awesome. We also ran with a friend of ours, Nichole who also did amazing!!
Now let's just hope I can keep running!
At our house before the race started. It was early!

Again, but it is me, Michelle, and our friend Nichole

Way to go!!!! You are all my hero's!! Sometimes I feel like I can barely walk across the room, let alone a 5k. Hooray!!

Zoo pictures are adorable! It's so hard to keep up with a 2 year old!! I can't believe how fast he is growing . . . and what a great chicken rider he has turned out to be ;-)

Love you
