Vacation



I'm going to be doing this in many small posts over the next few days. Partly because I am tired and partly because as I type I have cats to feed, dishes, laundry, unpacking(yes still), and about 100 other little things calling my name. David finally returned to work today so it finally feels over. BUT....Utah was great! We didn't get to see everyone we wanted to, or even spend enough time with the ones we got to see. The boys and I got sick, we all got a little tired of driving and well time was just too short.
But the very first thing I want to post about it my first 5K. I DID IT!! Not well, but still I finished. It was hard and my dear sweet sister-in-law helped push me, but we did it together and feel great about it. Our time was somewhere around 38 minutes, which is good considering we walked a few minutes and I had a chest cold, 4 hours of sleep and no training in high elevation. That nearly killed me. It was so hard to breathe. Although it was blessedly cool! Mapleton is a beautiful city and I miss it there.

Amen to the elevation. It about killed me when running there too. My first race was around that time and I was sick too. It stunk because I was so excited about it.

I am SO proud of you!! It sucks to run with a cold, and little sleep...GOOD ON YOU.
