past weekends

 our weekends have been packed with fun, just the way we like them. two weekends ago we were in vegas with my whole fam.  it was crazy, with a baptism and a baby blessing, but tons of fun.

 sweet baby hallie

 remember this post, well this boy still likes to take pics, and we took many of them. so proud of him for being baptized.

last weekend jenny(sis-in-law) and I ran the utah valley 10k. it was such a great race. i liked the route, the volunteers, and the fans. it was a blast! my time wasn't where i was hoping it would be but i still kept a good pace.  i'm looking to run a half in a month and a half or so, anybody have any races they recommend? i was going to do the timp half, but it cost $70, which sounds outrageous.

i still have more to catch up, i can't believe how fast summer is going!

vigor winter 5k

this race was such a blast! it was an obstacle course 5k in the snow. i thought running in the sand was tough, but i think the snow was harder. jenny and i had so much fun and decided these are the best kind of races. here we are just getting ready to go brave the 14 degree weather! my favorite little fan that was there, miss sophie. this was our last obstacle, getting over a giant snow drift. at the end, so happy to be done. it felt longer than 3.2 miles.

so there was also a part where we had to sled down a hill. please look at THIS picture. it will give you a good laugh. we did a train and went way faster than expected, at this point we were about to hit the camera man.

here are some other races i am signing up for:
Shamrock 4 mile run- March 17th
Little Red bike ride, 80 miler-June 2nd-this filled up in less than 2 hrs!!
Utah Valley 10k- June 9th

that's all for now.

if any of you would like to sign up and run with me, feel free! i think it is a lot more fun to run with friends or family!
