Yesterday was BYU’s homecoming. As part of the festivities, there was a 5K early in the morning. (I say “early” because it was before noon on a Saturday, which me for — the lazy butt — is early.) Jon went to run, because he is crazy and healthy like that. The kids and I went to cheer him on… and I am so glad we did!! It just so happens that I am the lucky wife of the second fastest 30-34 year old male runner in Utah county. You heard right, folks… my man is FAST. Check out the board:

49th overall, but second in his age bracket. The first 48 people were all crazies from the BYU track team. And there was some 12 year old that did it in, like, 16 minutes. But my hubby placed!

He was so proud that he wore his medal around all day. And you may think that I am exaggerating, but I’m not:

By the car By the car.

Driving Driving.

Then we went shopping at Old Navy. Because the kids needed some new warm-ish clothes, and Jon lost, like, another 10 pounds so he needed new clothes, too. He wore the medal shopping:

He actually wanted to pick out some clothes to MATCH his medal:

When it was time for bed… well…

He wants to build a display case with special lighting to showcase it. It’s the only award he’s ever won, other than a chess trophy. We can make the case big enough for both awards, I think.

*As a side note: we have enough grass to mow!! Check it out!

(He did take off the medal to mow. He didn’t want to get yucky wet grass on it…)

  1. What a good sport. I don’t think Greg would pose for blog fodder.

  3. Congrats to your hubby! The only contest Dave or I are in danger of winning is a buffalo wing eating contest. Or maybe a burping contest.

    And hurray for the grass!

  5. Another ten lbs.? Did he have it to loose? Sorry Jon, it’s just jealousy rearing its ugly head! You look great!! Congrats on the race and the grass, I’m jealous of both!
