get your race on!

It's that time of year again. We competed in the South Ogden city 5k. It was a new route this year. This time it went around our neighborhood and trail by our house. Lucky for us we had been training on the route since early Spring.
And also lucky for us, we had family members taking pictures of us on the run!



I was feeling pretty good on this route. My smile and buff legs were showing my enthusiasm. Ben did really well, he stayed with Nick throughout the race. I stayed with my ipod. I did walk once. I got stuck behind a guy with a stroller and an old lady in a sports bra and it slowed my pace. Blah!


Ben did awesome. He got 3rd place in his age group!
I managed to sprint in but did not make my goal time of less than 30 minutes. Dang it. But I was close. And I still managed to beat my last 5k time by more than 4 minutes!


Look at all the group who came out to run. We had fun. Dang Katie beat everyone (including Ben by 6 seconds) in the group. Dang long legs! Steph braved the race even though she could hardly breathe. It was super fun and I can hardly wait for my next race!
