The Big Race

Terra and Josh before the Race

On October 13th, 2007 Terra and I participated in the Ribbon Run 5k and 1 Mile Walk. I of course being the lazy one of the two of us did the 1 mile walk with some friends while Terra did the 5k run. It was a really chilly day in Hyde Park, Utah. And it was raining off and on. The 5k runners were let off first to get ahead of the pack. The walkers waited about 4 minutes then we were let loose. It was crazy! Our Friend Jesse Howe kept us all entertained by his jokes and his Olympic Speed walking that he imitated very well. We had to follow the Green Arrows as shown there.



It of course was a very hard walk for myself and my wife she claims it as no sweat on her run. She was a trooper for sure. Her and her two friends Kendra Bigger and Jessie Hylton did awesome at running it. I don't remember the times but this is the image i took while my awesome wife ran through the finish line.

Look at this action shot of my wife and Jessie Hylton crossing the finish line of their first 5k run. This simple run has inspired me and my wife and several of our friends to run in the 10k of the Salt Lake Marathon in April. We are pumped and excited for it and have already started to train for it. We hope that maybe some of you will join us in this race.
After the race was over with they gave us all medals for participating in the race. We were so excited that we wore them for the rest of the day.



We are such a cute couple i know!!! After the race we all went to IHOP and had some breakfast, mm mm good!!!!!! IT was a fun and eventful morning and we enjoyed it so. Well till next time this is Josh Huff saying Good fight, Good Night!!!!!
