I woke up early morning with all my makeup and clothes on from the night before at Kristi's apartment on Saturday to pick up Derrik's favorite blue powerade drink at Smith's and then ride my bike over to the BYU track, where over 2500 people would finish the Provo Rex Lee 5K run. Whew!
I got there a little late so I wasn't on time to see all the runners start, but I heard the gunshot for the start and saw thousands of people running along the sidewalk by the stadium. I made sure to chain my bike up to a fence and then find my way to the finish line, where others were waiting with neon signs and green colors (for St. Patty's Day) to congratulate their runners.
Derrik was third place out of hundreds and hundreds of people! He set a personal record and made the run in really good time. I think that's pretty cool :) These pictures are of us at the track where he raced.
So happy to be with Derrik!
Haha!
Later that afternoon, Derrik and I went slacklining. Of course, he was a lot better at it than I was but at the very end, I was able to stay up on the line for about 2 seconds! Hoorah! (If you don't know what slacklining is, click here.)
Then we met up with our good friends Julie and Clark and headed over to a party full of board games, barbeque chicken pizza, xbox kinect dance offs, and guitar hero. What a day!
Here's a video of Derrik longboarding. Cool, huh? :)
