5k

My ward put on a 5k run. It was super fun. Dave was sweet enough to watch the kiddos so I could run- even though he wanted to run too. And probably would have done awesome. 
Here are all the runners. There was a 10k too- but we all started together. The 10kers just ran two more loops. There I am all the way on the left- thanks for not cutting me all the way out Dave :)
 The cutest little cheerleader I could ask for.
 Here I am after my first loop. I'm sorry to blind you all with my white legs.
Woo hoo! I finished!! I've been running lately, but not very far. I wasn't very sure if I'd be able to finish the whole thing without stopping to walk. But I did it!! 9 minute miles-- so not super speedy, but I was happy!! Plus I came in 4th overall. Not too shabby for my first 5k in like 10 years :)
