Is there any better way to kick off the 4th of July than running a 10K?
This is our second year doing it and I am a fan!
This year was awesome because we got to run it in UTAH!! And we had Granny Nanny to watch the kids so we could run TOGETHER!! Naomi, Kevin, Jake and Munro ran it too so it was just one big family party.
The course was on the parade route so it was really cool having a crowd cheering us on the whole way. It was also awesome running side by side with my man :) We weren't going for time so it was super nice to go at a comfortable pace and enjoy each others company.
The miles just kind of ticked by and by mile 5 we still had plenty left in the tank to push it in for the last mile. The race ended on a hill and since that's all we train on, we totally owned it! We were passing lots of people and feeling like Wheaties champs :)
As we sprinted in for the last 100 yards, Taber reached out and grabbed my hand and we crossed the finish line together. It was a really sweet moment, so when the race pics came online, I totally bought this one because I didn't want to forget it. :)
After the race we got shiny new medals and big fat water bottles full of Gatorade. The race shirts were super nice too, definitely had some good swag for this one!
Everyone did awesome, several PR's and I think Ro and Kevin placed 9th and 10th in their age division! So yeah, proud of my siblings and brother in laws, and glad we got to start the holiday in such an awesome way!

That was super fun and I'm glad we started the day running! Love the pic of you and Taber holding hands! I totally would have bought it too :)
This makes me miss Utah AND want to run a 10k with my hubs. :)
I'm so glad you bought that picture! Before I even read what you said about it, I saw it and thought what a great picture it was!
That is a good race, I'm impressed with the nice water bottles full of gatorade and a nice shirt to boot. I'll have to run it someday!
That is the cutest picture EVER of you and Taber! You guys are such a great couple. Totally show the world how in love you are and that's AWESOME! Looks like fun doing a race just for kicks, and not for time!
