6 weeks.

First of all I can't believe it's been SIX WEEKS since Kylie was born (actually... I guess it is technically 7 weeks now.)

I have been counting down the weeks until I could start being active again, so when 6 weeks hit, we took advantage! :)

Dallin and I ran in the Operation Smile 5K on Saturday. The race was in Provo Canyon and it was so fun to see the leaves changing color, and hear the Provo River right next to the trail. Neither of us did quite as well as we were hoping (I ran it in 34 and Dallin in 36) but we still had a lot of fun and the route was absolutely beautiful!

Just as a side note (and an attempt at an excuse for our slow times)...both of us could have taken off at least 5 minutes off of our time if it hadn't been for the crazy trails we were running on. Before the race we had to walk for 10 minutes up a really steep hill to get to the start, which meant our legs were already tired. Then we ran downhill for the first half of the race on gravel trails/switchbacks that at times were only wide enough for one person and were so steep that you HAD to walk. Even if we had wanted to run the whole time... it wouldn't have been possible.

SO although it wasn't your typical race, it was still awesome and it felt SO GREAT to get out and do some physical activity! Not to mention help out a great cause!

Here's to the next race being a little better! (Maybe we'll actually train for the next one! haha.)
