Sweethearts 5K

So, I ran my first race. I ran a 5K in Bountiful. It went pretty good. I have a couple of injuries, so it could have went better. I ran it in 30:14, which is a 9:26 pace. Not too bad, but not as fast as I was hoping. I did okay during the race, other than some pain in my feet. I wasn't sad when it was over one bit. I ran it with my father-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law. Dad Howell's time was 27:27. Geoff and Felicia's time was around 36:36. At least I think these were their times. We all did real well. I want to do a 10K now sometime in April. I hope I'll be ready for one by then. There's no pictures of Jason, because he was taking the pictures. He was a proud husband. He told me I'd do better than I was thinking, and I did. Thanks honey!

Me walking across the finish line. I really didn't, that's just how it looks.

All of us after the race. We're all smiling. That's a good sign.



This is the best part about doing a race, if you ask me anyway. I was really bummed though, because they had me down as a male, so I got a male shirt I can't use.

Grizzlies Hockey Game

I know I haven't been very good updating our blog. It's not my favorite thing. It takes too long. I'll try to get better though, for those of you who care.

Anyway, we went to a hockey game the end of January. We went with my friend Natalie and her family. It was Van's first game. I was a little worried how he would do with the noise. There was no need to worry, he did just fine. His favorite thing was playing with the arm rests on the seats. I enjoy going to hockey games. I used to go to several a year. There's not as much time for that now. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.



Ashley watched Van for most of the game.






The girls got pucks signed by the mascot, Grizzbee.
