Monday my cousin Sandy and I ran our 8th, 5K so far this year. We ran the "Onion Days" 5K in Payson, Ut. It was a rainy overcast day, but stopped raining long enough for our race. I even improved my time by 60 seconds over last months race, probably becasue it was cooler. I came in 3rd place for my age division (29ish), wow, if I can do it, anyone can do it! Saturday, Casey, Kandace, Thomas and I volunteered for a community service project. ( Okay, I signed them up and told them they were going) This was a JetBlue service project. We helped in the construction of a playgound area for a school in a rough neighborhood. There were over 300 volunteers with our partners from AMEX. Thomas and I painted the outside wall on the playgroud, Casey and Kandace painted the Lunch room with neat quotes. We had a great time, but had to leave before everything was finished. We will have to go back and see it now that everything is done. Steve and I will head to Hawaii in a week, so the next pictures will be fun. Have a great week everyone.
