Today was our 2nd 5K in two weeks. We were so happy because we beat our last time by 6 minutes and 2 second. I thought that was a pretty big improvement. Now granted this one was not uphill and so I was expecting to improve. It was in Idaho Falls (about 30 minutes from us) on the greenbelt of the Snake River. We don't have any pictures of the path because we can't find our camera but our neighbor wanted to bring her 9 year old twin girls and so she was able to take pictures for us.
All the racers at the starting line.
These last two picture are of us on our way in. We were excited because we could see how far ahead we were of our last time. We are hoping to approve even more by the Liberty 5K on the 4th of July. It was supposed to rain, but it was so nice. While waiting for Jacob's award I got sun burnt on my face.
Passing the finish line!
Without this man I would not be able to do any of this. One day I signed us up for 5 races and he has been so supportive. I can't wait until we have lost so much weight by next year that we can do the marathon.
Jacob got a silver medal because he place second in his age group. My man is a winner, which I already knew! I was 4th in my age group and missed getting a medal by 4 minutes. I was a little sad, but I don't need a medal to tell me I am a winner. LOL!
This is our friend Matthew we met after the race. He was so excited that he finished and you should have seen his face when he went up to get his medal.

You GO Dani!! I'm so proud of you! I've never done something like that but would love to someday!
What an inspiration! I've been wanting to do something like that for a while. :)
First - love the new background.
second - I am so jealous. I have been wanting to do something like this. I am way out of shape and hate running, but i think walking and maybe building up to running a 5k would be awsome. I think you may have just inspired me... we'll see though, that takes a lot of work.
I AM SO IMPRESSED!
by the way, you are so rocking the rexburg thing.
