PIONEER DAY CLASSIC

So yesterday Jill and I ran the little pioneer day classic 10k. We did it last year and I shaved two minutes off of my time and Jill shaved a minute. I would have done it faster but I stopped at mile 5 for some twinkies. I did learn two new running terms "stomped" and "chicked". This is when a guy or girl passes you. The reason I say this is that some people are just made to run (me not included). Around mile five I am going along fine averaging a 7:30 minute mile and feeling pretty good when this young girl that I saw at the hobbler half comes up next to me and says "well hello again" as she passes me, just like she did at the hobbler half, thus I got "chicked" by her twice in one month. All that went thru my mind was "wench" as she passed me. Some people are truly meant to run. Jill and I just like going and running. We are training for the Red Rock Relay which is a 186 mile 24 hour 12 person relay race that goes on down south next month. So we will see how that goes.

Hobbler Half

Ever wondered what a fat almost 40 year old guy running half marathons looks like... well here you go. In my defense I ran it pretty quick 1:41 was my time which is a 7:50 minute mile. Even at that I got smoked by a lot of quick runners.

A Typical Vacation.

When I was typing that last post this picture hit me as kind of funny. Here is a normal vacation for us. Dude won't turn around because he thinks the picture is stupid. Kinlee is trying to get him to turn around (she is quite the mother), Kate could care less and Dylan is yelling at them both to turn around so we can just get the dumb picture over with. So here is a before and after shot.

39 Forever....

Today is Jills birthday. Here is just a quick pic of her last week in Glacier National Park. She looks as good today as when we got married. Happy birthday baby.
