Yes, I am quoting "A Christmas Story," and No, it's not a leg lamp. But, in my opinion, it's even BETTER: finding out you actually won something in your age category. Hey, I'll take any accolade--I am not fussy!
Ever since I sewed these cute bonnets for Pioneer Trek, I have been trying to talk my girls into running a Pioneer Day running event while wearing them. Until this year I have had no takers until my always-up-for-a-fun-adventure neighbor, Leann, said that she would join me. We signed up for Bountiful's Handcart Days Half Marathon/5k run last week, and this morning we headed down at 6 a.m. to join the ranks of 5k runners. I think a 5k is even harder than a 1/2 marathon because of the insane pace. The overall winner had a 5:40 pace and came in a tich over 17 minutes! Leann pulled out ahead right from the start and finished with a very nice 23:25 time. I started off with a great pace, but noticed that with each mile I was a little slower. I came in @ a respectable 27 minutes and some change, but it was still enough to earn a 2nd place...booya! (notice the cute handcart shaped award)
Running skirts are cute and sassy, and they look really good with our bonnets!
(Leann pointed out that we were very immodest pioneers--we're showing just a little too much ankle for propriety's sake)
