Oh, so you do track and field?

I ran my first 5K this weekend with Kami!! It was such a rush. Megan and I have been running everyday (packing up the kids in the jogging stroller is a lot harder than you think, after bundling them and making sure they have snacks and drinks and blankets)We head off for our run, to train for our first 5K that we were all suppose to run this weekend but Peyton ended up getting really sick and ended up in the PICU at Primary Children's. It is the saddest thing, but he is stable and doing good right now. He is in our prayers every day! WE LOVE YOU PEYTON!! (you'll have to check out Megan's blog for updates!) So Meg didn't come with us but Kami and I still went down to St. George to run it. It was so much fun and we did so good!! Our goal was just to finish the race and we thought we could do it in about 45 minutes... well we finished alright at an all-star time of 29:49!!! Wahoo for us!! We rocked it. We are getting ready for our next one... the turkey trot, in just 2 weeks.
It was early and we were still a little sleepy... I forgot I had a seatbelt on

Coming around the last stretch

Trav clocked our time, but he was a second behind. We crossed the line at 29:49!

My biggest fan was there at the finish line waiting for me!!

Way to go, you rock! And you look super cute doing it! Are you sure you ran...you look perfect! That sounds fun, too bad I'm not motivated enough.

Nice job Nikki! That is a great time!.... So I have a favor to ask of you. We are throwing my sister a shower this weekend and I was wondering if you could give me your yummy punch recipe. (the one Melissa served at Zachary's baby blessing) I know you told me it before but I totally forgot what it was. It would be great! Thanks

Wow!! Good job!! I was thinking the same thing Raquel did...What you just ran a 5K and your hair isn't messed up?! Maybe just a cute little speckle of sweat on your nose like after basketball! Looks like fun!

First off thanks for the comments on my blog, I am so happy you found me and I found you! And that is amazing on the 5k! You and Kami rock, you make me feel like a real slacker and have inspired me to maybe walk to Mcdonalds today for lunch. maybe.
