Race For Recovery

Ben and I ran in a 5k race yesterday called the Race For Recovery. It starts at Mt. Timpangos Park and goes up Provo canyon. It was so beautiful. I was really happy to see that I came in 4Th in my division and finished 1 minute faster than my goal time. It was so much fun doing it together, well kind of. Ben finished 6 minutes sooner than me. :)


Getting ready for the race...

Ben preparing himself for the race by rubbing his legs with Icy Hot...or liquid lifesaver as he calls it!


In the words of Forrest Gump, "I just kept runnin'."

Comin' down to the finish line

I can't believe I totally missed an opportunity to comment on Ben's shorts...those are saweet!!!

What's wrong with my shorts? They happen to be very fashionable for running... What you should be making fun of are my pasty white legs...It looks like I haven't seen the sun in a decade.

Dang girl, you just keep getting skinnier and skinnier....stop it!!! I'm so proud of you. Isn't running so much fun? I just love it. Can't wait to start up again after my injuries are healed.

And go BEN!!!! That's awesome that he did a tri. and didn't even train. Very impressive!
