Silentish Saturday (A RACE)!

My alarm clock on Friday morning went off and I thought, “I’ll go run after Brooke’s race and go back to sleep now.”

The race ended and I didn’t go running because if I don’t do it first thing in the morning, it most likely isn’t going to happen.

BUT the more rest I get right now the better, right?!

I did get in 2 miles WITH BROOKE AT HER RACE!

Her school puts on quite the race once a year during the school year.  They have an aid station, police officers blocking off the roads, the mascot, balloons galore and so many people out cheering for them.  It was amazing to see the entire school out being active.

2 MILES!!!  She finished in about 30 minutes and felt so accomplished afterwards.  Andrew, Skye and I ran the whole thing with her and the weather was perfect.

She got in some uphills, downhills and grass running.

They even hooked them up with popsicles after.  After the race my brother-in-laws dunk team (he is the coach for the BYU dunk team and he participates with them too) did an assembly for the school.

Skye made sure to wear her running clothes too.

Took the best bread over to Mer’s house to see her.

And then to our friend’s outdoor party with amazing food trucks, outdoor movies and games.

I was supposed to doing a 10k trail race today, then a 10k road race tomorrow. (it’s a dual-dash). BUT, I’ve been sick all week and on Thursday was diagnosed with pneumonia. What??? Needless to say, no races for me this weekend. I’m very disappointed, but have take care of myself so that I’m well for our nieces wedding next weekend!

I did my first 10 k race today and I loved it and got my best time ( from my training runs too). I did not push it at all because of my bad knee ( which feels fine) until the end. I am a race walker and always will be but I have always wanted to run. These past 6 to 8 months my knee is cooperating and I am going to enjoy it while it lasts. I want to do more!!! I maintained an 8:40 pace and I think I could improve but my goal is to just run at the pace my knee likes! So happy today!!

CARRIE!! CONGRATULATIONS! I am just so thrilled that your knee is doing so well and you ROCKED IT! Oh please keep me updated on it all! So thrilled for you. I hope you are celebrating all day!

17 miles this morning and I woke up to a steady rain ? At least it’s warm though!
After my run we’ll be heading to cheer on my little nephew at his soccer game, then a BBQ at a friend’s house.
Have a great run and a fun Saturday!

Brooke wanted me to tell you thank you after I told her that you said she was a strong runner! It was massaman curry rice bowl and it was heavenly! Have a great Saturday!

Happy Saturday Janae! Today my husband and I are going to our favorite coin and jewelry shop owned by a father and son. They make us feel like family there. I need to run some errands and then I hope to take a nice long walk. All in all it should shape up to be a good day.
