Saturday morning, we ran in a 5K up at the University of Utah. My cousin, Jasmine, won the event for the girls with an amazing 19:29 time. 2 weeks ago, Jay and I started jogging again by running a 5K on the new Legacy highway before it opened. I did not do too well (35:14) so I was very happy with my time of 27:44 at this 5K. It was a lot of fun... even the half mile straight uphill. The best part was that Jamison took part in this event by running the kids 1K. He was so excited. About a quarter mile into it though, he made me carry him while he yelled "run mommy run!". He did run again though at the end so he was able to cross the finish line. All the kids got a medal so he's pretty proud of himself for "winning". :)

Also on Saturday, we took Jamison to see the circus at the Delta Center (excuse me, Energy Solutions Arena). He has such a good time, although for almost the first half he sat on my lap with my arms securely around him. He just wasn't quite sure what to make of the whole thing at first. But we gave him some pizza and he loosened up a bit and really got into it. It was fun to see him enjoying himself so much, but after we left, he showed the same amount of enthusiasm when he got to see a TRAX train drive by so I guess we don't really need to go to such great lengths to entertain him.
And as of today, Jay officially has Sunday's off again so he's able to attend church with us. He's been working Sunday's for the last several months so I'm pretty excited that he gets to go with us again. And what better day for him to be able to go to church since today Jay and I participated in the Dedication of Jamison and Gianna to to the Lord. In case you don't know what that means, it is an act that symbolizes our committment to raise Jamison and Gianna in a way that honors God. We never got the opportunity to do this with Jamison when he was a baby, but that's okay because this way we got to dedicate both of them together. :)
If you have time, I did post more pictures in the 'Pictures' section again.

Good job on the 5K, I can't wait until I can start running 5K's again. Although I have started walking again so that is good, trying to build myself back up. Oh and Gianna is so freaking cute.
Congrats on the 5K improvement. And I love that Jamison is a little runner too. The Dedication ceremony seems like a really great idea. I'm glad Jay can go to church with you know - I'll bet it was hard to go w/o him. And I love your circus pics!
Wow! Kudos on the 5K. I love running 5K's. This doesn't mean that I've done a lot of them, but it is a fabulous way to start off a day. Makes me want to run another one.
Congrats on the run! That is great that Jamison participates too.
We took Maddie to the circus this month--didn't know she was afraid of clowns! That would have been useful. But cotton candy did make it better. I am totally impressed with your marathon running abilities. Makes me want to get off my bum and do something!
