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 -

The Girls' First Photo Shoot

Some of Mommy's Favorites

Though it was hard to choose just a few, these are some of my favorite shots of Ashy & Sam from the past 2 or 3 months! Can't believe how fast they grow up :(

I promise I don't really let my 2 year old feed my 6 month old candy!

This is Samantha on her blessing day. She wore the same blessing dress that Ashlyn wore except in a smaller size :)

Ashlyn found a few items in our closet to accent her outfit.

They look like they got caught doing something wrong :)

She reminds me of one of those fuzzy haired things you put on the end of a pencil and when you rub the pencil really fast between your hands the hair poofs out everywhere!

Sam is in this major "spitting" stage right now. She is always making spitting noises.

We sure miss auntie Brooke!

Sam is finally eating (or mostly wearing) solid foods! I don't know how she got so dang chubby on just formula!! She also just got her first tooth :)

BYU Indoor Track Invitational

I was at the BYU Invite with my high school kids ALL DAY on Saturday, and the highlight of the meet was the coaches mile. Stef entered, and it was her first mile race since college. She ran an impressive 5:44.10 - and now holds the meet record for female "coaches". Way to go Stef :)

Here is the link to the results - http://results.runnercard.com:8081/Results/ViewResults.html?class=server&meetid=1727

I did it again - signed up to run the Wasatch 100 this next September. If I get in the lottery, this will be my year to finish (or die trying - I'm sure Stef doesn't want to hear that).
Here is what happened last time:

This picture is at mile 49 with 2 of my incredible pacers - Steve Petty and Kenneth Richardson

Snowshoeing in Lambs Canyon - New Year's Day

Ashlyn was not really with us. I just really liked this picture of her first ever snow angel.

Merry Christmas!
