5k - what was I thinking

Last Thursday night, my brother-in-law, Brian, asked me if I wanted to run a 5k on Saturday. I said "sure" and so we did. It was at Wheeler Farm in Murray. It was pretty cool to do it just for the accomplishment. I don't really like running, but like my Uncle Gery told me recently, when you get old and can't play sports anymore you have to do something to keep in shape. I think I am starting to fall into that category in my 28th year!

We ran at a pretty mild pace and finished in 26 minutes. It was much easier than when I ran it a few years ago with my little brother, Jeremy, in Bluffdale when we practically sprinted the whole thing (it seemed like it anyway). We didn't train for that one either. From what I remember, our time was around 22 minutes. That was torture!

You might notice dogs in every picture. We were wondering why there were hundreds of dogs. Then we realized the run was for some animal charity. We were dodging dogs on leashes the whole run. Kind of weird!

Looking pretty confident before the race

A sweet shot of the gun smoke. Good one Kalli!

We're in there somewhere

Left: a final sprint to the finish - I had to beat that old man! Right: happy to be done.

Not even phased by the whopping 3 miles!
