Saturday we went to Wasington to run the "Hell Hole" as they call it. It was named correctly. It started across the intersection of Washington Parkway and Telegraph road. Carolyn and Kimball and Abby ran/walked the 5k and Mendy and I ran the 10k. Carolyn took 2nd in her catagory and Mendy took 1st in hers.

Weekend at Provo

This past weekend we went to Provo to attend a dance competition. Friday night McKenna competed in a solo competition and she did very well. She placed as First attendant. She missed Queen by half a point. There were three judges and two of them ranked her Queen, but the third judge ranked her as first attendant. the points were totaled and she came in as first attendant. She is our queen, and she danced amazing. Saturday morning I found the Provo city half marathon to run in, so at 8:00 I was running to Utah Lake and back to center street and University Ave. It was raining and snowing and hailing and sleeting on me the whole run, but I beat my personal record by 7 min. according to me Garmin. I finished in one hour 55 minutes. I was thrilled. Saturday afternoon we went back to Provo Hight so that the girls could compete with their classes. McKenna's class took to first place and one third. Ellyce's class took two second place rankings.
