Mendon Days


 In preparation for my Disneyland races,
 I decided to run the Mendon Days 10k. 
I did it in 1:15. It was hot and I had been pretty sick
 the week before so I was just glad I finished.
 Out of all the runners I bet only 15-20 did more than the 5k.
I was doing really well keeping up with everyone 
but then they all turned down the 5k
 road and I had to run alone. 
I did not finish last though!
 The half way mark was right by my parents house so I had
a lot of people cheering me on. That's Lydia and Daisy.
 Then we went to the parade!
 It is a small parade but they throw tons of candy.
Xander liked clapping and waving at everyone.
 After the parade we walked around the booths and
watched the firemen spray everyone with water and foam.
 My Dad is a good sport and took the grandkids out.
Then we went and had dinner at my 
parent's house and played outside.
Xander loves Grandpa!

Nibley 5k

I have been training to run a 10k and a Half
Marathon at Disneyland.
To help get me ready I decided to run a couple
of races beforehand. I ran my first 5k at the
Nibley Heritage Days.
 I ran it in 33:01 minutes. 
Not too bad for my first run.
