Damn, I am tired......

If there is one thing that Dude can do it is sleep. Came home today and he was passed out in his little preschool shirt. Even passed out he is cute.

Dirty Dash

So Leigh Anne called me thursday and said that she couldn't run her yearly dirty dash and gave Tanner and I her tickets. It is a 10k army style race. Every couple hundred yards there was an obstacle like ropes, tires, fences, swamps, water hazards, and let me tell you it was dirty. I ran it with Tanner and his little punk high school buddies. I wish I was 16 again.... Next time you see Tanner ask him why his uncle was able to take pictures at the end. (it was because I was waiting for them) Anyways it was fun, definately something I would do again.

Red Rock Relay

Last weekend Jill and I went and did the Red Rock. We went with her Crossfit buddies and let me tell you it was really fun. It is a 12 person 186 mile relay race that starts in Brianhead Ski resort and ends in Zions National Park. We started 3:00 Friday afternoon and ended 5:00 Saturday. Jill and I have been training for it, but we should have been doing more hills because the elevation changes were really extreme. Each runner had to run three legs of the race and averaged 5 to 8 miles per run. One thing that I learned is that Jill is one tough chick, she hammered away at all her runs and never complained once. All in all it was a great experience, never got more than a couple hours sleep, but that just makes the experience that much better. The only part that was hard was right at the end. We were kicking it at the finish line waiting for the last runner to come in and found out that he couldn't run because of an injury so I had to go out and relieve him and finish out his leg. Let me tell you that takes a little bit of mental willpower. Anyways we had fun, came home tired, a little sunburnt and sore. On to the next one, Ragnar Las Vegas in October (I think I will train on a few more hills first).

Kids First Day of School

Here are a few pics of the kids as they head off to school. Kait is starting kindergartern, Kinlee is starting 4th grade and Dylan is starting 7th grade. Summer is over and off they go. Kait can already read , write, add, subtract, no offense against Chuck and Larry but I don't remember them being able to do this at that age. Dylan is entering an advanced PUPS program at Provo High and won't be attending Junior High. He doesn't seem too concerned and takes Dads teasing about "hitting on all the high school girls" with stride. His classes are on the Provo High campus eventhough he is only in 7th grade, so we will see how that goes. Dude is going to preschool with his little red-headed buddy Logan. He came back after the first day with his preschool t-shirt that says "what happens in preschool, stays in preschool." Isn't that the truth! Anyways the kids were excited and mom was excited to see them go.
