Monica came to visit and we girls(Monica, Megan and I) decided to run a 5K together. There were not many options in Utah county and so we went with the Utah Valley Marathon and 5K. Mindy had hurt her back the previous week and couldn't run with us this time (you're in like flynn next time, Min). The race started at 7 am, and needless to say, we barely made it to the start line on time. After some dynamic stretching exercises...the race started. I knew immediately this was going to be quite an experience. We were laughing before the race even started, and I have never had such a fun time running in all my life(despite the fact that they had advertised porta potties along the way...and there were NONE). Anyway, it was a cold but beautiful morning. We all sprinted to the finish line and Meg led us in. I beat Monica by one second which officially made we WINNER of the women's 30-34 age group! Woo Hoo! I even got a plaque! We've decided to make running a 5K an annual event, with all invited. The only 2 things that will make this even more fun are...more family members running with us...and BLADDER SURGERY...aagh!
