Checkin\u2019 IN!!!<\/h3>\n

Today was a fun run.  Wellsville Utah has a fun run on labor day each year.  It is known as the Founder\u2019 Day Run<\/a>.  It\u2019s a 7 Am start with a cannon that sounds to signal the start of the run.  I\u2019m sure there are a few \u201cGet off My lawn\u201d types out there, but most folks love it.<\/p>\n

Today was nice because I was able to cruise with little juniper.  Dennis was hyped, and with no encouragement took off and finished a minute or so in front of us.  The 5k loop seemed more sensible seeing that last year the 10k seemed that she was at her limit.  So up we got early at 6 am, scrambled to the bib check in and then off we went.  Liz was a bit aloof due to pregnancy sleep.  The last few days have been a bit disruptive for her as she prepares to bring little girl into this world.<\/p>\n

So off we went.  Along the way I could tell that Juniper was having a bit of a problem.  So I sorta stopped got her hands under the blanket, got her another drink and off we went.  Overall it was a solid run.  I maintained an easy but consistent pace for the course.  About 3\/4 or so of the way through, I fired up a facebook live session so that Juniper would be a bit distracted and I think it helped overall.  We passed Liz and her friend Laura on the way toward the final turn.  Laura overslept and missed the start but was able to keep Liz company as she waddled toward Dennis and I.  Laura was also able to capture a few photos \u2013 see below.<\/p>\n

It was good to see a whole bunch of local running friends.  Here\u2019s a list of first Names:<\/p>\n

  16. and probably a few more this brain is forgetting, and some we saw but didn\u2019t catch up with<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So overall, a great day and the folks of the event do well.  This one is not chip timed and only the Overal male\/female is tracked 3 deep for the 5k and the 10 k.  A good event for the money \u2013 12 dollars pre race and 20 bux the morning of.  You get a solid shirt.  Anyway, we will probably do this one as circumstances allow for the time being into the future.  That cannon start is awesome.  Rise and Shine!  Get off my lawn!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
