OUR SECOND 5K RACE!!!!! Race For The Red!

Well, Morgan and I decided to start running seriously since it's become a fun hobby we can do together as a family (I'm so lucky Nixon likes running along with me in the stroller in the mornings:)!!! I wanted us to find something fun we can do for the rest of our lives together:)wakeboarding won't last forever! We did our first 5k not too long ago and LOVED it so much that we couldn't wait for the next one! I couldn't believe the feeling after finishing the race, the endorphins I released were seriously awesome! I couldn't stop jumping around and felt like a little kid full of energy, I told a lot of my friends and family and wanted them to run too:) Morgan still teases me for that, but it was such an exhilarating feeling I wanted to share it and everyone to have it too!!!
The first race we did was for research on Autism! I love that we can do something we enjoy and help a charity in need at the same time! WE WILL NOW BE DOING MANY MORE RACES AS WE TRAIN FOR A HALF MARATHON SOMETIME, AHHHHHH!!! WISH US LUCK and if anyone wants to run a 5k with us pretty soon, probably sometime in July or Aug.,let us know, we'd love you to join us!!!!:):):) This race for the red was such a fun thing to be a part of too, especially seeing some of the people with real heart conditions participating and changing their lives! It's so motivational to be running for a cause and knowing 100% of the proceeds are going toward the research and in this case cures for heart disease!!!
Right after the race, it was such a perfect day and here we are after we turned our numbers in! We placed pretty good especially since there were hills I wasn't expecting:) it was along the river trail in Provo, I love running near water and thanks to Morgan staying right with me the whole time and not going ahead,we always finish together, which is fun, such a nice husband:) soon I know he won't have to go ANY slower for me:):) I'm catching up pretty fast:):)!
