Last Saturday Garrett, the Kids and I ran the SLC Marathon 5K. I had been getting ready to run the Half- Marathon, but injured my achillies tendon about 2 months ago. I wasn't able to run on it for about a month and then when I could start running again I had to increase my miles very slowly. So, I decided to run the 5K instead. I ran up ahead while Garrett ran with the kids in the running stroller. We both ended up doing good. I ran it in about 22 mins and Garrett did it in about 28 mins. My injury is doing much better now. It still bugs me if I run a little more then I should have or if I don't stretch it well after a longer run. Luckily through all this I was still able to do other activities with little or no pain. I was able to continue teaching Spinning, do the elliptical, the stair climber and lift weights.
