John and Jill -- Superstar Runners

Jill and John both ran their 10K (6.2 mile) race this morning. The race might not sound to tought to Dallen, but Jill has never run more than 5 miles before, and she's only done that 2 or 3 times. The last time John ran more than 5 miles was when he was 18 years old. It was the Prison Break race, and it started at the Prison in Kuna. The race started with the prison sounding the escape alarm, and it was sponsored by Aladdin Bail Bonds.

There were a little over 200 people running the 10K race. Jill got 83rd place, with a time of 58 minutes. John got 20th place, with a time of 49 minutes.

Next year we plan on doing the half-marathon version of the race.

  3. No everybody can do it! Ben and I are just going to have to be content to sit on the couch, watch ice skating and eat the leftover Halloween candy.
