5k Run!

I ran the Top of Utah 5k run this morning! It was only 3 miles, but still hard. I ran it in 28 min. and 14 sec. On the tredmill I can run it in 26 min. This run had a couple hills. The first woman ran it in 18 min. and the last was almost an hour! So I think I did pretty good :)
I hope I can make this a regular challenge every fall. I guess it depends on when we have more kids, but I still want to try.
There was this woman that ran it and she looked about 6 months pregnant! I don't think I could do that!
My Mom, Dad and Trish came to support me, and Brent came with the kids. He did take a couple pictures, so I will have to post those later, unless I look too freaky! Brayden thought it was pretty cool that I ran. He kept saying, "mommy run".
When we watched the olympic runners on T.V. he would say "get em, get em, get em, run run run!" So I wonder if he said that, I will have to ask Brent :)

Yay for Kara! That is a really good time! Good for you.

I can see you running it pregnant. You are so determined and dedicated. I remember walking up hills with you not pregnant until you were just about to have Tyson. I was as pooped as you were but I had no excuse.
