Bryce just before the 10K race started (he did the 10K pushing about 80 pounds of double stroller -- I did the 5K pushing myself) -- Sophie and Travis bundled up! It was quite chilly! 
Gina and me -- we're just happy to be here, folks! We were close to the finish line, too -- we were happy to be there, as well. :)
Just after finishing the race!
And I'll toot Bryce's horn here -- he ran the 10K with the stroller, weaving around other racers, stopping here and there to take care of the kids, and just generally trying *really* hard to not be in full racing mode - to just take it easy and treat the race as a fun run (this is REALLY hard for Bryce to do). So, with all those little handicaps he still managed to come in 4th for his age group - and was just 2 seconds away from placing 2nd for his age group! And yes, it's driving him nuts. But I think it's awesome! :) Go Bryce!!
I ran the race with two friends from the MBA Spouse group -- Gina & Monica. Turns out running is lot more fun when you have company! We must not have been TOO tired if we were posing for pics, eh? :)
Bryce ran in honor of a classmate's little boy who passed away this summer from cancer.
We love you, Tobin!
With more MBA spouse friends at the race!

Good job on the race! You all look great!
Good Job Lisa! I ran a 5K last fall- I trained for it for about 7 weeks, ran it, had hadn't run since then. . . 'till a couple of weeks ago. Running is a mentally painful activity for me but once I get going I love how I feel when I do it.
When I ran my race the kiddies all asked if I won my race - I smiled and said "I finished my race" :)
That is amazing that Bryce did so well with a stroller! I'm totally impressed!
Way to go running Loppies!!! And I love the photo on your banner. Cute kids!
Wow! Impressive! That looks like so much fun! I really wanted to do it, but Joel couldn't... I should have run with you guys! If you want a running partner this summer, I LOVE it and plan on training for something when school isn't so crazy! Good job guys! And I'm so glad I found your blog...I listened to Sophie sing Cinderella like four times last night..gosh it is so cute and gives me that "have a child" fever! Way to go!
IMPRESSIVE!! Way to go Lisa and Bryce. Cris, you should have been there to push Bryce on up!
:)
Must have been that practice Bryce got at the 30 year Race last Sept.
Haha, those photos are awesome! That was so much fun. I still haven't downloaded mine off my camera. When I do, I will send them your way!
you are my hero, Lis! As they say on Australia, goodon'ya! You 2 really are soulmates! I bet Soph could run it next year. Congrats to Bryce....hasn't lost his edge :)
You go girl! That's awesome! I can't believe that Bryce did so well given his "handicaps!" So, what is next.... a marathon?!
You are so awesome guys! Lisa, it brings back such fond memories, you are still the best running partner I've ever had. Maybe that's why I don't do it much any more. :) What a great inspiration!
What a fun time! I need to do more of those. I've only done one on campus. It's a great environment. And look where you ended up...the old stomping grounds by Helaman Halls.
