My failed attempt at a cute pose ought to be excused considering my good time. 57 minutes! (and a few seconds...) Not as fast as a few years ago. But I am BY GOLLY getting there.The first annual 'Run, Run Ye Saints' 5k/10k, run/walk put on by our church was a BIG success! Around 80 people showed for this glamorous event. There is something really exhilarating in all the high-5s and whooping-cheers. And even just having a number pinned to your shirt... Well, it's fun.
Next event? Just a few weeks until the Hood-to-Coast relay. Then a couple weeks for the local Harvest Festival 10k. Then I'll need to do a couple more half-marathons. Then, then, then....
So all my local buddies let me know of any other events I can invite myself to. In return you're all invited to a FANTASTIC 8-mile loop, country run out by my place. Anyone? Name the date! I'll provide the bathroom, water, and maybe something yummy.
With all this activity I have to say that it is quite unfair that there are still some jeans in my closet that take a little too much huffin' and puffin' to get into. Oh well, onward onward...

It's true, running does NOT make you skinny. But you look good Lindsay, so don't fret. It's funny how we're our own worst critics when it comes to looks...I HATE photos of me!
looking good for a mom of 3!! Wish I could run 6 miles!! Sounds like a fun event.
You look great! Way to go on the running too! So cool the ward was doing it together. Really helps with the camaraderie and togetherness.
It WAS fun! Yesterday I said I don't want to be in charge again. Now I'm planning what to do to make it better. Just like childbirth ... how quickly the bad memories fade.
Just running won't make one thin. But it sure helps to create that calorie deficit.
I wish I could run a block. Way to go!!!! I hope this time next year I'm running. :)
