running a weekend...

Coach almond wound be proud... well maybe.



For memorial day weekend i took Kaylen and Sam to Ca so i could run the Laguna hills 5k race with 2 of my brothers and friend Rachel,( the picture at the top)... Michelle and Kevin ran the 1/2 marathon... next year i'll be ready for that.... um i hope. Any way the race was super fun although i didn't do great... i ran it in 30:30 a 9. 45 min mile... pathetic, yeah i know, but I didn't train at all! i hadn't run in well over a month, so all things considered it could have been worse. I left my camera in the car, but luckily while running those race photographers took some of me. So i have to say after running pathetic time and looking at my giant legs in these pictures i am going to become an avid runner, and the gym is going to become my second home. Although i said this on memorial day.... and it has yet to have happened... sigh, oh well. Here i am After the race with my brothers, and the cutest cheerleaders in town!

It was a great day, after relaxing at G-mas house And having squirt gun wars all afternoon;



we went to the ward picnic at the park... it was so fun to see all of our old leaders ect... but i have to say the funnest part was that a lot of old friends were visiting their family's for memorial day. So it turned out to feel oddly similar to the pre kids/ husbands days. Sorta weird! Here a picture we took simply because we got the red shirt memo.

Dana And Dave made a quick stop by before heading back up to school... but Dana couldn't leave Ca with out Rite Aids Chocolate Malt ball Crunch, ( heaven, if you've never had it), so we loaded everyone up and got our ice cream! Mmmmm mmmmm Good!
