On Saturday Betty Jo and I ran in the 5-K for Welsh Days in Wales Utah. It was so much fun! I haven't ran that far non-stop for a REALLY long time so it was a good experience. I only stopped for about 15 seconds to speed walk and then ran/jogged the rest of the time. I think that the funnest segment of the race was during the last block there was a girl infront of me and I decided that I wanted to sprint to the finish line. She heard me coming up on her and she picked up her speed. I never did pass her but it made for an entertaining ending. I ran the race in 30:08 minutes. I was happy with that - It's not super fast but It's acceptable considering the shape I'm in. I'm going to do another race for the 4th of July and hopefully I can beat my time.

Good Job. That's so fun that you guys could run together. I ran a 5k with my sister after I had my first little girl. It's a tough race. Have fun running for the 4th.
