Law Day 5K

Today Chris and I ran the Law Day 5K. We've been running together for some time and ran together in the 1st annual Waffle Run, which my darling mother in law put together, but this was the first race that we have run with people other than family and friends. It was very official. There were a ton of people there, including Chris' uncle and cousins, members of Chris' firm, and a good friend who moved back to Salt Lake from DC about the same time as we did. They gave us numbers to wear, and some official looking timing chips to strap to our ankles to keep track of how fast we were able to finish the race. I would love to say that we destroyed the competition, but I'm not going to lie, we were pretty slow. I don't mind that we were slow, though. I didn't really start running until about a year and a half ago, so I was just glad that we didn't come in last. It was a little hard running the race, it started early in the morning, it rained on us the whole time, and there were quite a few hills. However, I feel good that we were able to do it without embarrassing ourselves. Below is a picture of us after the race. The hat I was wearing was one of Chris'. It was a little big, which I didn't think would be a problem, but as it rained on us, the heavier the hat got and it started to slip down over my eyes while we were running. I almost had to hold on to it as we were running the last stretch.
