Stef's Running

It has been a while, and we have a couple of posts we would like to put on here. Time is flying by so fast, and we are already looking forward to the summer - when I am done with school and track. This first post is dedicated all to Stefanie's running. She ran her first 1/2 marathon on Saturday, and although she insists it was just a training run, she did a great job - finishing in 1:32.08 - good enough for 5th place in the Striders Winter Training Series 1/2 marathon (out of nearly 200 women). It was a cold morning, and the last 3 or 4 miles were into a pretty strong headwind. The girls and I were proud of Stef and how well she ran. She also ran a great mile at the Simplot Games in February (5:31). I will add some Simplot pictures soon. I also recently added some Salt Lake 5k pics to the end of this post.

This is pretty early in the race (about 4 miles) coming out of the canyon that leads up to Causi Reservoir Ashy and I stopped to pet the horse. After the race - at Red Moose Lodge


Here are the Simplot photos:


This is the last time I was in the lead in this race. The later pics don't look so good.Ashlyn was there to support both of us.

Stefanie didn't want me to make a whole new post about this - so I thought I would just add on to the end of this one. She ran the Salt Lake 5k yesterday and finished 4th out of like 1500 women. My wife is smokin fast :) Her time of 19:02 was her best since the college days - way to go Stef. I captured a few shots near the end -
