Today was a nice lazy day. The kids were a little crazy, but that is normal for us. I do love Sundays knowing that I don’t have to get up early to run.
I came home from my race and Corom was mowing the lawn, so I thought perfect opportunity to get my girls to help me weed. They started to weed and were very excited to do it. I thought this is awesome… My girls like weeding. I was smiling to myself for a whole 30 seconds maybe even 40 when they all got up and went back to the backyard. (It took one of them to get up and they all followed quickly after!)
It is a beautiful morning, we are high up on the mountain top. Rachelle, Ericka, Kelli, and I are ready for this awesome 31 mile relay race…
This was an awesome yet tough course! We were down a runner (we were supposed to have 5 on our team, but one runner couldn’t make it). Rachelle and I picked up an extra leg.
My 1st run was 3.04 miles and I ran a 17:41 (it was an aided run), my 2nd run was 3.1 miles and I ran a 20:39 (this leg was tough… 2 major steep hills), and my last run was a 2 mile run and I ran that in 13:49 (that also had a 1 mile uphill and then it flattened out to the finish). My legs were shot for the last run. The others girls were so fast and we all had short runs similar to the ones I had so there was less recovery time.
This next picture is Kelli and I shocked with how well some guy ran… He ran a 22 min 4.5 mile run. It was amazing!!! Everyone was shocked!
We battled between 2nd and 4th through the first half and then pulled away from the 3rd team on our last legs. The girls on the team rocked it! We finished strong at 2nd overall with a all men’s team (with 5 runners) 1 min and 10 sec ahead. It was a blast!!!
We were way tired…
This is where the fun begins…

Eating at Chili's… We will see tomorrow if this was a good idea… 🙂
And this is where it ends…
We were able to attend our friends wedding at the LDS temple.
Barry and Melinda (in the middle), just got married today! It was a great event this morning. 2 very amazing people.
Our girls were the flower girls for the reception:
