Fast Fast on the Fourth

The Judd cousins started the Fourth with a 5k in Henefer. Judd girls (and a couple of husbands!) across the nation have been training diligently for the event. I was the jerk who called my cousin Ashley and said, "Is this going to be all kumbaya and we run together, or are we racing?" She said we were racing, but we did go kumbaya and get matching t-shirts. My Grandma's name is Gloria, but she is called "Goldie" and the great grandkids call her "Go-Go." Our shirts said "Goldie's Girls" on the front, and "Go-Go Gone" on the back.

I ran my fastest 5k ever- 26:12. I have my new Forerunner to thank. It's a handy little GPS watch/timer so I know my current pace and the distance covered, and I like it! It's been funny- no one I have talked to has said, "Did you have fun?" They've all asked, "Did you win?" Nope, sure didn't. But I made the goal I set for myself, and that's what matters.

If you are cool you wear a running skirt.

We partied at Grandma Go-Go's to celebrate my cousin Leeanne who is having a baby. It was a fun start to our Fourth of July. ...and thanks to all my cousins who were so nice to Kate. She is IN LOVE with all of you.
