Today I completed my very first 10K (6.2 mile) race. I wouldn't necessarily call it a race for me, more of a goal to finish! My goal was to average 10 minute miles and I DID IT!!! My time was 1 hour 2 minutes and 57 seconds!!! I was pretty excited. I ran the entire time, walking only for a few seconds at the 2 drink stations while I got a cup of water. It felt really good to accomplish the goal! It's the longest distance I've ever run at one time! Here I am at the finish line..... You can probably tell by Chloe's hair that her Daddy got her ready today! (My friend picked me up at 5:45am to go the start of the race)
Another happy thing about today is that it is the 15 year anniversary of when I got baptized and became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints....appropriately on Pioneer Day!! That was the best decision I have ever made and has greatly influenced my life and helped mold me into the person that I am today!
Some pics at the Pioneer Day Parade....wasn't that nice of them to have a whole parade for me?

Congrats. Stef. What a great job. It would take me that long to run across the street, if I could run at all. You are the gratest. Love you bunches.
