Yesterday I was at work when a friend told me that I needed to do the Rex Lee Run with her on Saturday. I had been thinking about doing it all week but decided I didn't want to do it alone or pay to run. Well she continued to talk me into it and I decided that it is for a good cause and so I signed up for the 5k run. Lets just get one thing straight. I don't run so I was a little apprehensive about doing it. For those of you who were wondering Rex Lee was a professor at BYU and later became the President but died of cancer and every year at BYU they do a run in honor of him.
This was my number. It was a legitimate race. It wasn't just a bunch of people jumping in to run. They had numbers and little microchips to track your time. I wish I could have found mine out but I felt like I did pretty well.
There were LOTS of people doing this race. They had a 5k and a 10k. It was also VERY cold to start. My hands were freezing!
This is my friend Audrey and I after the race. She is pretty much amazing. We found out that we have a lot in common and decided we need to more than just work friends. I had a lot of fun and got my exercise in for the day, not to mention a new t-shirt to add to my collection of about 50 or so. So if you get the chance to run for a cause I highly recommend it, but to run for the fun of it... well I guess that's your problem. :)
