Our Trip to Arizona

I know that I'm late in getting these up, but at least I'm doing it! Victoria has been training for 6 months to run in a cancer benefit run that her Aunt Karson inspired her to do. She has trained hard! I've gotten many comments from our neighbors that have seen her out running our hills. I went down to Arizona on the Tuesday before the race to soak up some sun. Victoria didn't come until very late Friday night and then Saturday we were up well before the sun to get out to the race. The first pictures show how very early it was!






My cousin Luke and his wife, Jen came from New Mexico so that Jenny could run the race. She injured her knee just a few days before, but she still ran the half marathon! In this picture is Jen, Spencer, Karson, Me, Victoria, McKay, and Abby





The kids getting excited for the fun run to start. McKay, Caleb, Carter and Riley (McKay's friends) Emma, Emily (Carter's and Riley's mom) and Abby.





Here's the whole team!






Spencer, Berta, and Victoria waiting until starting time




Since I'm not so great at doing this I will do it in two posts. So here's the "before" of the race. Can't you just feel the excitement!?!
Stay tuned for the finish....
