Firehouse 5k on Hill Air Force Base. I set a new 5k PR by 14 seconds. My wife Dawn and daughter Emily joined me for their first race ever. They both did very well. After finishing and catching my breath, I ran back to my wife and we did last bit to the finish together.

Reasons I love this race: 1) Its free! 2) Hill AFB has the only Popeye's Fried Chicken in the state of Utah and I don't have military ID. It's the only time each year I can get Popeye's. 3) The fire department sponsors the race and does a great job.
