Sauvie's Island 5k

Well we did it. I had a goal of a sub 30 minute 5k but secretly in my head i was really wanting to do it in under 28 minutes but that did not seem reasonable.

The Official Results:

Overall place   94/300   Official time   27:11     Pace 8:45    Age Division 4/8

Matt and i usually run out races together but really he is a lot faster then me so i finally convinced him to run his own race and get the best time he possibly could.

Here is his Official Results:

Overall place  81/300    Official time  25:56    Pace 8:21   Age Division 3/4


It was a awesome race for the both of us we both got personal records which is very exciting and added to our runners high all day!

Looking like i am dieing (felt like i was)

Getting excited the end is near

Runnin hard

Close to the finish

Happy finishers :)

What a great race we will be doing it again next year but probably the half marathon sense its the flattest in the Nw.

Runnin my life away

Last year we ran our first two races. The first one was a 5k in banks and the second was the Warrior Dash which we will do every year for the rest of our lives, we loved it that much! 

After our very first 5k

And this was after the muddy warrior dash obviously!

Well sense then we have been dieing to do more races (we kind of got the racing bug) but kind of got lazy and didn't really have the spare money at the time. Well we just signed up for a 4th of July 5k. Our first race of the new year.

So sense we have a race on our calendar we have been running and trying our hardest to get in shape. I don't think i could have picked a better husband to support me in all my crazy ideas of "fun" i have such as training for a half marathon. This 5k is just a stepping stone in our training. We are planning on running a half marathon in October which i am excited and very nervous for.

Tonight i ran 3.5 miles in 36 minutes which isn't all that great but it didn't hurt and i probably could have went farther and harder which is very motivating.


Right now i can only run a mile in 8:47 but i am trying to whittle that down to at least a sub 8 mile.

My 2 mile time is 18:30 which i also would like to cut down a bit.

For the 4th of July 5k i would LOVE to run it in sub 30!

So there is a few of my goals at this point we will see where it goes from here. Wish me luck!

Work, School, Work

Well life never seems to slow down these days, and it doesn't look like it is going to anytime soon. Matt and I both have been very busy with work school and our callings at church.

Matt's first day of school (I'm a proud wife)

   Matt is currently working at Walgreens as a cashier part time and is shifts don’t really work well with mine so some days we don’t really see each other much. (Not very fun) He is also taking a math class at PCC trying to get ready to apply to be an Electrician with a guy from our ward at church. At church he is now in the 3 year old Sunbeams class with me. I sure hope we never have quadruplet boys. (Knock on wood)

   I on the other hand am still a receptionist at American Precision Industries. (Machine shop)  http://apiams.com/. It’s a 8-4:30 job which i love still leaves plenty of time in the day for other activities. I also recently became a Independent Scentsy Consultant. https://wicklessrusk.scentsy.us/Scentsy/Home I was trying to decide whether or not this was something i wanted to do at this point at my life because I really don’t have a house to have home parties in or anything like that. The deciding factor was that it would really help pay for matt's schooling and that I LOVE Scentsy and so what if i may be my biggest customer; )
