The race is on!

So I have really gotten into running lately, thanks to my good friends April and Amy. I decided that I wanted my family to be part of that torture, I mean, joy that I have found. So a few days before Christmas Chad and I did our first 5 K together and the kids got to do a Kids Run. It was so much fun and I was so proud of all of them. Lexi asked if we could do races every day!! :)Chad and I coasted in 26:05. Chad said, "Not bad for a mal-nourished, sleep deprived, asthmatic resident!"

I was just happy that the course wasn't water logged like the last one I did.

Chad got into AZ at about 11 PM the night before, but was such a stud to join me.

Lexi doing some pre-race stretching.

Super sprinters!!


After a race well run, Santa came to visit. I like the way Nixon is checking Santa out in this pic.

LOOK AT YOU GO! That's awesome! Poor Chad! If I'd seen that picture somewhere else, I don't think I would have recognized him! You look FABULOUS, by the way! Almost makes me want to be a runner. almost. ;)
