Tuesday night we ran a real fun run. It was the Chase a Crook Out of Town 5k Fun Run. (I think that is what it was called.) This was the first REAL fun run that I have ever seen. Kids were there with their bikes and scooters and little yappy dogs were there in abundance. It was fun to see so many people from our ward there too.
Devin was able to skip Young Men's because of the four boys, two weren't planning to go to YM and two were running the race. As you can see from the picture, they were all still able to do typically Young Men teacher-type activities like pouring water on each other. And yes, Devin did start it.
It was HOT because we were running at 7pm. It made me really miss running those nice early morning races when it is still cool outside. I tried to keep up with Jake, but let's be honest. Did I really think that I could keep up with a boy who is on the cross country team for his high school? But there was a boy I could keep up with. One of the neighbor kids, Ben, was riding his bike. Just as I finally lost sight of Jake, Ben comes zipping by on his bike. He was a great pace setter all the way to the finish. Maybe his mom could lend him to me to be my running coach. I was tickled pink when I finished the race at 25:19. Thanks Ben! I look forward to breaking into the 24 minute. It will be fun next year to have Anna do more than just ride in the stroller for this race. Thanks to everyone for letting us know about this race. It really was a fun run.

I look forward to this race every year precisely because it is so much FUN!! And I'm sure Ben would love to be your pacer for the half marathon--only chances are that he will fall, or be eaten up in the see of runners! Seriously though, it was so fun seeing you guys there, I only wish we had more time to talk.
It was a fun race. It was my slowest time for a 5K, but I think I had the most fun. Ran through two sprinklers, Bob threw grapes at me. Had fun with my brother and nephew and nieces. Can't wait until next year!
