Speedy Spaniard 10K

Ha Ha...I think that name is so funny! I wanted to run another 10K before my big half marathon so I signed up to run the Speedy Spaniard on the 24th of July. The route had some big hills in it but I made it and beat my last 10K time by 2 1/2 minutes...Yea!!! We stayed at Mel and Josh's house the night before and Mel woke up at 5 a.m. to take me to the race...thanks Mel!!! When I got to the finish line, Todd and the boys, and Mel and Josh and their kids were all waiting for me and cheering me on. That was so nice since it was so early in the morning to have all 5 kids up and ready, but it sure made me feel good! :)
After my race we went to watch the Spanish Fork 24th of July parade. The kids loved it of course but Todd, well not so much. I think it was a bigger accomplishment that Todd went to another parade than it was for me to run a 10K! :) He said that since he as been to two parades in one month he shouldn't have to go to another one for years!!! Well, we will see Todd! :) We ended our celebration with some yummy food after the parade. It was a fun day!Watching the parade...look at all those happy faces! No wonder Todd loves parades so much!

You are so amazing and it makes me want to get out there and start running. But..... I have a few more months with a bun in the oven and then... a few more months of snow so, I won't be running for a little while. In the meantime I will just live vicariously through you. Good Job!!!
