About two weeks ago my little sister Jessica called me up and asked me if I wanted to run a 5k with her on the Saturday morning of conference. We'd be down there any way so it wasn't a big deal and I thought it would be fun to get back into racing.
Here we are Saturday morning getting ready to leave for the race. It was a little chilly and A LOT windy.

Luckily, after the race started the sun was high in the sky, so even though we ran against the wind for the first 1.5 miles it wasn't too terrible. Here I am after crossing the finish line and receiving my preliminary result times.
Here we are. Yeah!! we finished the race!!
And as a bonus, both of us finished 3rd in our age groups so we got medals (19-24 for her, 25-29 for me). Jessie beat me by three-tenths of a second, but we came in around 27:20. Not too shabby. We also came in 17th and 18th out of 129 women.
Jefferson had a blast because after the race he got to meet the firemen and get a sticker and climb into their truck.
He loved it!!!
More races to come!!
