Hungry Dogs Win the Race



Snick just ran its first half-marathon on saturday. Our time was 2 hours 4 minutes. (9:30 per mile). We definitely weren't the fastest kids in the race, but we had a blast. It was so fun to run a race together. If you can't pick out the sweatiest person in this photo then ring your call button and Tommy here will come hit you on the head with a sledgehammer because you are a retard! No, but seriously do I get a prize for being more sweaty than Chris Farley in Tommy Boy?
Let's rewind a sec. Here is what we did this weekend.

Friday
- Class for 4 hours, wrote an 8 page paper, wedding rehearsal dinner. Home at 11 PM.

Saturday
- Woke up at 3:30 AM to get to the bus in time for the half-marathon. They bus you up Sundance canyon and then drop you off and let you run your way back to your vehicle.
- Started the race at 5:30 AM. It was rainy and 45 degrees, but once the sun came up it was fine - plus it doesn't matter because I'm Tommy Boy's cousin and I have sweat tacos on a daily basis.
-Finished the half-marathon at 7:30, rushed home to shower, headed up to SLC to get my hair done for the wedding of our dear friends Mike and Lauren.
SIDE NOTE:Their wedding was absolutely gorgeous and so were they. It was such a wonderful experience to be a part of their special day.
MORE SIDE NOTES: We planned a little surprise for Lauren.

The wedding isn't featured yet, but the website is deliciously fun. I'll be posting more pictures of the wedding/reception later. It was seriously a blast, but by the end of the night we were exhausted and quite sore. We got home around 11:30 PM from the reception and we both crashed.

The half-marathon was awesome and we plan on doing another one someday. I still can't believe I ran 13.1 miles and didn't die. I do need new running shoes though. Mom? Are you listening?

In a completely unrelated note to running shoes - I found this photo of Lil D today. Oh what a hidden gem...

Ha ha you kill me Syd! If Tommy Boy is your cousin who am I? Ha ha. Congrats on your 1/2 marathon. They are fun. You and Nick are so cute:)

Ps. I LOVE when I find a gem of a photo of Roxanne between the ages of 11-13. I think thats around the time when I ruined her hair and she had to have the "duck butt" style. ha ha

You guys are amazing! I totally would have ran it with you if I were still there, but you probably could have ran laps around me! Ha! But man, what a crazy day you had. I would have been pooped!
