Christmas Rush 5k

On December 10th, Brian and I ran the Kent Christmas Rush 5k with some friends in our ward. It was my last 5k in the 25-29 age division. However, considering I haven't run more than once a month over the last six months, I had no hope of placing in my age division.

Luckily, I was able to finish the whole race running, which I wasn't even sure I was going to be able to do. My finishing time was 30:50.7 (definitely not a PR). Here were my stats:

Division Place: 21 of 68
Sex Place: 234 of 1119
Overall Place: 532 of 1848

Brian finished just a few seconds ahead of me. After the race, Brian and I went to breakfast at Shari's. We consumed at least as many calories as we burned during the race. But we had fun! A special thanks to Aunt Sara for watching the kiddos for us during our Saturday morning date. :)

Getting in the Christmas Spirit

After we got home from our Thanksgiving trip, we pulled out the Christmas decorations.

On December 3rd, we went to our ward Christmas party. They had a big piece of paper on the floor for the kids to color on.

After dinner and some carols, the kids gathered together to hear the story of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Then, Troy and Wes waited in line to sit with Santa. Sydney wasn't interested in talking to Santa.
