Not Made For the Cold!!!

I've been wondering lately if we would ever acclimate to the cold dry Wyoming weather. Well, yesterday I learned that my children were definitely not made for the cold. This is how Malachi dressed himself yesterday morning.


And this is what it looked like outside!!


Here is just an added bonus picture of the princess!

I made it!

So, I have been working out for about 4 years now and got into running about 2 years ago. I have been wanting to run a race, but have chickened out whenever one has come up. Well, Amasa has a co-worker who wanted to run this race in Pleasant Grove, Utah and she asked him to run with her and he asked me (if that makes sense!! haha). Anyways, so this past weekend we ran in the Pi Mi 5k run. It was actually a lot of fun...in hindsight!!! I am actually very proud of myself. I set two goals and met both of them. One was that I would finish in less than an hour and I made it in 39:45. The other was that I wouldn't finish last and in the women under 40 division I was 46 out of 58. I know it isn't the best time but it is good for me and it is a start. My sister-in-law now wants me to run a half marathon with her this spring. YIKES!! Think I can do it?
