Child and Family Support Center Race

I don't know if I've ever ran two races in the same day but I'm sure I've never run one in Wellsville, UT before but shortly after the Emmett Family Fun Ultra 5K we headed to the west end of the valley to run a charity race for The Child and Family Support Center. Thanks to Laura for telling us about the race with a 1 mile, 5K or 10K option.


 I've never had number 1 before. Too bad I didn't run like I deserved it.

 At the 1 mile and 5K starting line.

 I don't know why I'm looking at my watch.

 Polly smells victory.




 High fives for the fat old man.



Emmett Family Fun Ultra 5K Run

October 9th was the first (and last?) Emmett Family Fun Ultra 5K Run complete with sweet T-shirts in Livestrong yellow (Thanks, Tom). The course started and ended at Twin Pine Ranch with one lap around Adams park before running to and back from Norda's Mountain Outfitters. It was an resounding success. I'm pretty sure we eliminated some disease. Costumes were encouraged so we start with Tom (best in show) and Molly and Erin (tied for second).

 Tom was thrilled to win Best in Show.

 Bruce must be upset that he didn't register in time and therefore couldn't run.

 Best aid station ever! Thanks.

 Typical Dash. What a card.

 Finish! Not sure who won but it didn't matter because in the EFFU5K, everyone is a winner.

 More "winners".
Okay, never carbo load with fettucini alfredo.
