Kriste and me after the Finish Line. I clocked in at 31:11.

My cute family!So over the long weekend, Craig, Abbi, and I met up with Brandt and Kriste (and their kids) in sunny St. George! Kriste and I had been training for the 27th annual Painters 5K and ran it on January 17th, 2009. It was Kriste's 4th one, I think, and my 1st! I had no idea that I could run it as fast as I did! My goal was to run it in under 40 minutes, but I totally surprised myself and ran it in 31 minutes and 11 seconds! It is so strange how your adrenaline kicks in and you can do things you never imagined possible. However, in all my training, I never got sore-but, I did this time! I don't know if it was the cold morning (around 36 degrees), or not warming up as much as usual, or perhaps it was just running faster than I ever have!! My muscles started tightening up soon after, though! I felt better a couple days after, but I was disappointed that I got sore in the first place. After that, we enjoyed the beautiful sunshine and 60 degree weather. We took nice walks and let the kids play outside. We also enjoyed eating at the new "Pirate Island." It was a cute kids place with a fun pirate theme. Thank you so much for having us at your wonderful St. George home Brandt and Kriste! We always have a good time with you and your family!

Like I told Kriste, I would have cheered you on too if I would have known you were just a stones throw away. Way to go on your first 5K. I'd be lucky to finish under 60 minutes.
Way to go!!! That's awesome that you two did that. I would never be able to make it.
