The Ogden race turned out to be alot of fun.
The night before, we took the forerunner train to pick up our race packets then rode a rickshaw to dinner. It was kind of fun getting around without a car. The boys were glued to the train window the entire time and couldn't wait to get in the "bicycle buggy."
Wes and I both had mixed feelings about the race because we both had signed up for the marathon and half marathon and would not be doing it. Instead we did the 5K , we didn't train enough because of injuries we need healed for the next race. So I actually enjoyed the run. I really hate the pavement and prefer trails, so when it comes to road races I'm sticking to the 5K's. Kudos to all who ran the marathon, esp. Tomee (Call) Pace who came through the finish doing her first marathon, way to go Tomee! Also to Carrie Neiderhauser, how many is this now?
The best part was watching little Morgan run his 1K! He was so excited for it and requested that I get him a 'Dash' outfit to run in. Yea, they're jammies! He ran a bit, walked a bit, was carried a bit, then sprinted across the finish line to people cheering on "Mr. Incredible." If only our races were that easy. Afterwards, he got his own medal, a bell, and was made in the shade with popsicles and blue gumballs from grandpa, who also ran the 5K. The other best part? He slept great that night.
