Health Days/Conquer the Canyon

The Health Days committee finally decided to give their race a cool name.  It in now called Conquer the Canyon. I love it, it feels like you accomplished so much more.  After all the time that I spent walking up and down Smithfield Canyon, I never thought I would want to run up and down it.  This race really is fun, it just feels like home.
I got the morning off to a really great start, not!  I almost missed the race.  I thought it didn't start until 8:00, nope it started at 7:30.  Luckily they were late getting going and I got there just as they fired the gun.  It took me a while to mentally get in a groove, but I eventually did.  I wasn't able to run the whole time, and that is okay.  I walked as fast as I could and was able to finish in 36:37.  I think that is faster than the Top of Utah race last fall. So I felt pretty good.  Unfortunately I was faster than Justin expected, so he didn't get any pictures of me crossing the finish line.  Oh well, I have 9 more for him to get it right.  I did go back and finish the race with Steph so he was able to get one then.

Dallin and Savannah were supposed to run in the Mayor's Mile fun run.  They were able to run, but as Savannah said "Daddy made us cheat."  They started part way through since we were late.  It was just a fun run, no times were taken, so I think we will be okay.  Here are all the fun runner.  Ian and Hailey rode in the stroller, while the rest ran.
