Jensen Family

* HAPPY NEW YEAR *

5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

*****

Pre-race stretching!!! Check out Oliver's flexibility!!! :)

Girl Power!!!!

The Jensen Trouble Makers!!! :)

Funnest race EVER EVER EVER!!!!

After a family discussion we decided we would open up the New Year with a family run followed by ice skating and dinner. It was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! We threw around a few different plans of action and then decided we would run our newly found race together.

The first mile was the BEST since all seven of us were running as a family. We were on the JRP and the weather cooperated beautifully. Our first mile came in at 11:50. The twins impressed us all with running the whole time! Oliver, Livvy, and Ryan had completed their fun run, and Rylee, Payton, Sophia, and I had another 2.1 to go.

As we began our 2nd mile we picked up the pace to about 10 minute miles, Sophia's comfortably tough zone. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves, but it was obvious that Rylee was itching to take off. With one mile left I told Rylee and Payton that they could run as fast as they wanted to the finish. Their faces lit up and off they went. We were at an area that looped a bit and so for a minute or so I was able to watch Rylee from the side. She looked amazing and I am sure she was running at about a 7 minute pace.

Before I knew it our run was over. I wish it would have lasted for hours more. I was in heaven. Running with my cute hubby and kids. What better way is there to start a new year?

Ice Skating and dinner was fabulous!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Teena that is such a great idea, 10 years from now I hope you are still doing it, heck 20 years from now you will have grand kids involved too!

From Kathie on Sat, Jan 02, 2010 at 14:44:11 from 63.248.105.188

ps I love Payton's shirt!

From Smooth on Sat, Jan 02, 2010 at 15:18:12 from 174.23.217.47

SSF!!! I am grinning from ear to ear! LOVE the pictures! Payton's stretch was goofy, Rylee looked like she was priming, Sophia stretched like a pro-runner, Livvy's looking at Payt thinking "whatever!" and of course the "gymnast" in Oliver came shinning thru...AWESOME flexibility!

What a GREAT JENSEN NEW YEAR 5k/fun run tradition! SOOOOOO FUN!!! What a happy day! GREAT MEMORIES builder! LOVE IT!!!

Miss you like crazy!!! LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL LLL

From Kelli on Sat, Jan 02, 2010 at 17:59:21 from 71.219.95.151

Great pictures! How fun. And, yes, Oliver is one flexible dude!

From MarcE on Sat, Jan 02, 2010 at 19:37:10 from 206.225.68.111

Priceless. You and Ry are the coolest parents of the coolest kids! Happy New Year, TeenaMarie!

From Andy on Sat, Jan 02, 2010 at 22:25:35 from 198.60.114.178

What a great way to start the New Year. Sounds like so much fun. A BYU shirt? I'm so disappointed.

From Teena Marie on Sun, Jan 03, 2010 at 01:08:17 from 174.52.45.85

Kathie -- Payton's shirt ... BLAH!!! Now Rylee's shirt, on the other hand, that girl has style!!! :)

SSF -- Miss you too!!!! So so so much. Can hardly wait until Thursday for lunch. Okay Andy and Kathie ... don't back out on us. Let's just set a time and place. I will set the time right now: How about noon???

Kel -- Oliver is SO SO SO SO flexible!! We had so much fun. Next year your family NEEDS to join us: for both the race and ice skating!!

Marc -- You got one of the two things right: Definitely the coolest kids!!! :)

Andy -- I am disappointed in Payton's shirt as well!!! :) Ours is a house divided. Ry and Payton are diehard Cougar fans, blah, Oliver is on the fence, and the girls have it right!!!! :)

From Kelli on Mon, Jan 04, 2010 at 17:29:37 from 71.219.96.112

I just noticed your son has on a BYU shirt. What is that all about??? I think Colby has the same one.

From Rhett on Mon, Jan 04, 2010 at 17:58:32 from 216.67.211.75

It's because BYU Rocks and even the young ones know it!!!!!!
