My third annual running of the First Dam Run 5k in Logan, Utah. Two years ago it was my first race. My wife and daughter, Emily, ran with me. I'm just getting over a bad cold and couldn't quite get the lungs full of air. I still had a good race, coming in 3rd in AG. My wife set a new 5k PR by over a minute (her third 5k).

In two years of running I've logged 2478 miles and completed 38 races (never came in first overall, but I've come in last overall twice). I've made many good friends and enjoyed dramatically improved health. Best yet is my wife started running with me a couple of months ago and is quickly becoming a 5k addict.

Thanks to all on this blog that have supported and encouraged me. 'Just Keep Running!'
