Jason has been crazy lately, that is crazy about exercising/working out at the gym this cold, long winter, but now that we've seen a few days of sunshine once in awhile he will be outside running. He has a few big races in the near future that he is training for, but first he had to start out with his first 5K. It was the South Davis Sweetheart 5K in Bountiful in February! So me being the good wife that I am, lugged all four kids out(luckily it was actually pretty decent weather) of the house before 9am on a Saturday morning(sleep in day =( ).
Our friends(Roundys) were running it to, so the wives and kids got to cheer the daddys on. Jason did great for his first race and is still running so it must not have been too bad. He was supposed to run only 6 miles last Saturday and decided to just keep going to see what he could do, and he ran 13.1 miles(1/2 marathon). What a crazy guy. He did good and felt fine, that is until he decided to go play basketball later in the day and pulled his hamstring and hasn't walked normal for a week! What a punk!
Aaron Roundy has been a great help and friend to Jason with his new passion for running. I don't know if I should thank Aaron or not, because I'm kindof jealous because I don't get to run with a newborn and no sleep it just isn't too easy yet. Although I did manage to go 2 miles today, and I won't tell you how much I had to walk. Having a baby does take a toll on your body, so don't judge me =)
Jasons mom and stepdad are the best supporters we could ever have. We forgot to tell them about the race so I called them at 8:30am that morning and they hopped in the car to cheer him on, and help me out with the kids. They are great! The kids were so excited to see their daddy running and to cheer him on.
