run. run. run.

I have been a runner most of my life. I was a sprinter as a kid. Now I run longer distances. I've watched the Olympics the past couple weeks. (Religiously watched the Olympics. I've turned in to a total couch potato!) I'm amazed by the talents and abilities of the world's best runners. I so appreciate and admire their speed! (And possibly covet it just a bit.)
I've developed a bit of a crush. Allyson Felix is about the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life! And she runs like a superstar; the same events I used to run (100m, 200m, 400m, 4x100 and 4x400).

Although we're not exactly world class athletes we still enjoy running and racing. Ten members of the Baum crew ran the Pioneer Day 5k; eleven including Em's dad, Dan. We had a ball! And we ran pretty well! Six of us got medals. Pretty impressive.
We're planning to make it a tradition. We're already in training for next year...we plan to claim all the medals. haha!
