And the medals to prove it.
We laid out our running clothes carefully on Friday night, pinned our bibs onto our shirts, and retired early to await a 4:30 a.m. alarm clock. Breakfast of bananas and yogurt, and we were off to East Canyon for the annual Canyon to Canyon Half Marathon/10K.
As JT and Lizzie know, it is a great route - a dirt road winding along a stream among pastures in a narrow mountain valley. Plenty of up and down to keep you working, and plenty of scenery to distract you.
Mother ran the 10K; I ran the half marathon.
And we ran to win: Mother took 2nd place in Women 55-59; I took 3rd place in Men 60-64. Fortunately, we stayed around for the award ceremony!

You are both totally amazing! Congrats!!!
My parents are SOOOO cool!
So fun! I want to be like you guys when I grow up.
Eliza was so impressed when I told her the news . . . "wow!" she said, "Grammie's a fast runner . . . sure is faster than you!"
Now that the results are published, the truth is out: there were exactly 3 men in the 60-64 age group and exactly 2 women in the 54-59 age group. I love small races!
