This morning I did the Salt Lake Running free 5K with my two girls (Emma 13 and Amelia 11). We had a really fun time. This would be their first race and both of them can't wait for the next one. After running 30 miles yesterday I wasn't sure how I would feel out there, but surprisingly my legs felt great. They are a touch sore, but I didn't even notice it while running. We got there and signed in, got our free shirts, which are actually pretty nice for free and then hung out with Jun and MattV until the raffle. I won another tech shirt and so did Amelia. After the raffle we went outside in the cold for a few min and then to the start. I was so proud of my girls. Emma had two goals: Not come in last place and run the whole way. She accomplished both. Amelia had to stop and walk a bit, but eventually she caught back up to Emma and they finished within seconds of each other in just over 36 min. Then we hung out with Jun and Matt for a bit. The race was very fun and you can't get any better for free. My girls keep asking me when the next race is. I'll post up some pics later. |
