Jared, Annie, Shannon, and I ran the Rex Lee Run last Saturday! It was super fun. I volunteered at the packet pick-up booth but didn't get a volunteer t-shirt :( But that's okay because I have a race one.
And I think someone must have sued BYU because now all participants have to sign this waiver and show ID to pick up their stuff. Annie and Shannon did not know this and it caused us to almost miss the race. Luckily, the gun went off when Annie and I were just finishing putting her chip on her shoe and we only started about a minute and a half behind. And it is timed with the chip so it cuts that time off at the end.
Anyway, Jared and I were booking it to pass all the huge crowds that were walking and get up toward the front. We probably ran a little too fast that first mile because the second mile was a killer. I felt like dying. The problem was that there was this little ten-year-old kid ahead of me and I just couldn't let him beat me. So I stayed with him and finished the race in 21 minutes! If only I had known I was 10 seconds from getting a medal I would have ran a little faster :)
Go Rex Lee Run! Until next year...
