Moab

We went last year.... because our friends said it was fun!

And they were right - we were hooked. 

So we came back to Moab this November for the Adventure Trail race and the boys & I signed up to run the 5K.

We don't go because we love to run, that's for certain! But when you are surrounded by your favorite people cheering you on, and running through some of the prettiest & coolest landscape around - it makes for a really fun morning jog! (And the boys are fully motivated by the free cookies & soda at the end of the race!!!)

Pre-race photos of friends, silly boys and a funky little band that kept everyone upbeat as the races started....

We were done in an hour, which afforded us the opportunity to cheer on the real runners! Meanwhile, the boys all kept busy playing in the sand:

 

Marathons completed: 5

Half-marathons completed: 5

5Ks completed: 4

1Ks completed: 3

Best group EVER!!!!!
