Mike and I decided we needed some motivation to work out, so at the break of dawn on Memorial Day we will be running the Bolder Boulder. It's a 10k.

I have done it twice before, both times in high school, so I know I can do it again. The only thing is that I haven't run for about four years. I used to run all the time when I was in high school and college, but I stopped when I hurt my knee playing intramural soccer at BYUI four years ago. Needless to say I have a lot of catching up to do. I have a few more lbs. of pregnancy weight I want to lose so this will help give me a boost. Since Mike's legs are about twice as long as mine, I don't think we will be running the race together but it will be fun training together. Anyway, I just wanted to post this so we can hold ourselves accountable to you. No turning back now!

awesome! I just ran that Hoove dam half marathon relay so it came out to be about a 10k-perfect distance to feel accomplished but not bore to death running a half or a full haha. I would love to run that one sometime though-have fun!
