Moab 5 mile run

This year Atessa (Aren's sister), my mom, Aren & I all decided we were going to run in Moab's 5 mile run on March 21st. After 3 months of training, the day came. We got up early and were bussed up the canyon to the starting point. The gun went off and we started down the canyon road. After 59 minutes my mom finished. 2 minutes later Atessa and I came across the finish line. We would have kept up with my mom but for years I have been getting bad pains in my knee when I run. I wobbled down the road for the last 2 miles or so and what a great sister-in-law Atessa is, she stayed with me. After the race we rested a little and then went on a few 4x4 jeep trails with Atessa's brother-in-law, Trevor. We went on a few trails in Hell's Revenge. It was exciting. Atessa has been trying to talk me into running the 1/2 marathon (13 miles) next year. I am still debating on that. I might be joining her in a triathalon in sept. down in St. George. I think that will be a great way to end the summer.
