Last night Joe, Eth, and Hyrum all said they wanted to train with me today. I warned them last night that I'd do a quick shoulder shake to them to get their eyes open and say "Get up, I'm leaving in 5 minutes" - and that's it. Eth didn't make it out of bed. Joe, Hyrum and I walked to the church for a warm up, then went to where we think the starting line will be and said "GO!" for ourselves. Joe and Hyrum went the whole 3K distance. Hyrum slowed Joe and I down, but it was cute. I let him hold my hand and I pulled him a few times. I told him he doesn't have to come for our next training session and he said "...but I don't want to be a fAiLuRe at the fun run!" When we were on the last leg of the run I gave Joe the timer so he could run ahead and see what his time was, then he'd tell Hyrum and me our time when we crossed. Joe's time was 18:36, Hyrum and I were 20:30. I ran it on Saturday and got 13:20. Joe and I are going run it again Wednesday morning and see how we do pushing each other. :)
After the 3K the tree of us took turns doing quick sprints around the block. Joe got 2:32, Hyrum got 3:15, and I got (drumroll) personal best time of 2:17!!! We're gonna do those block sprints every day to get ready and try to get faster. :) Plus did 12 minutes of planks.
Here are some pictures from last year on their website -You can join the fun too if you want, there is unlimited registration, and it's free!! (But you better not beat me.)
My hero Shannon was at last years run in the middle above, bib #68, plus our other famous neighbor there waving hello in bib #53! :)
I'm in image 7492 near the middle of the picture. You can see Corey racing to the finish in image 7602. The girl bib #93 won the women's division last year... I think I can take her. Luckily this little fun run is just a big deal to kids, which will help me beat the adults and be the coveted winner by my children. Corey's on babysitting duty, so since I don't have to watch my kids, I'm in it to win it!!! Go go!!
