Camping and Biking

Two posts in one week... this has got to be a record.

Mid-October we went camping with some good friends of ours to Kodachrome Basin State Park. We had fun relaxing, exploring, and learning to ride a bike! Okay, I learned a while ago, but Brynna learned to ride without training wheels. Yeah! I'm going to attach a couple of pictures from the weekend and then try to attach a little video of her riding on an early run. Once she got the hang of it, we had to go on a bike ride. We rode around the campground area and then decided to go on a longer excursion. The route we picked ended up going on a gravel road, which was a bit too much for Brynna, but she made it through.

A cold day...

After I started doing some running this year Brynna kept wanting to run my races with me. I don't think she is ready for a 5K just yet, so when I saw that the BYU Homecoming races had a 800M race for 7-9 year olds, I thought, this will be perfect.

So, when the morning dawned, it was 30 degrees and snowing (lightly)! It wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but that is autumn in Utah. (It hasn't snowed again since that weekend.) So, here's a few pictures from the event. Brynna ran her 800M in 4:49, which I thought was pretty good considering she basically had no "training" and just ran the race. She was proud of herself. I ran in the 5K with two of my neices who are going to school at BYU. I was able to keep up with them, but didn't do as well as my last race. I'll blame it on my bad conditioning for the month and a half before the race, as well as my frozen toes. It was around 32:20, about 2 minutes slower than last time. I need to practice some more!
