Beat Coach Pete

In order to lose the remaining baby weight that I have, I decided that it would be a great idea to take up running again. Not sure why I though this was a great idea. Anyhow, in order to encourage my new form of exercise I thought it would be fun to find an easy 5K to participate in. As I was "looking" around Ryan's cousin asked us to be a part of her group for the "Beat Coach Pete" fundraiser for Boise State. We thought this would be a fun thing to do together so we signed up.

The day of the race turned out to be horrible - it was freezing and I think I saw a couple of snow flakes as we were making our way towards the starting line. Once we started running, the weather actually helped keep me cool. I thought that I wouldn't be able to keep up with Ryan during the race, but I actually caught up with him about a mile in and we ended up running the rest of the race together. Well, that is until the last 100 yards when he sprinted ahead of me because he just couldn't stand losing to his wife. Whatever. We did end up beating coach Pete though and I think I actually enjoyed it enough to keep on running.
