"We Felt the Labor this Labor Day!"

This Labor Day was our ward's First Annual Labor Day 5K, "Run and Not Be Weary, Walk and Not Be Faint."  Our sweet Young Women put it on with the help of the great and very organized Jamie Pyatt.  Let's just say, I "labored" during this run.  I have not really worked out all summer and thought this was the perfect time to get my booty moving again.  The girls decided to catch up on their beauty sleep, so it was up to me and the boys (Rob & R.J.) to represent the Hazens.  I thought we'd run as a family but, all I saw of R.J. was the back of his head!  Rob and I kept up a reasonable, moderate, respectable pace and pretty much ran the whole way.  I am glad my sister Michele was right beside me too making me laugh and pushing me on.  I am acting like it was a marathon but, I was proud of myself.  The next day I was so sore, but felt really good.  I think I want to do more of these!  Right after the 5k, we raced to San Clemente for a baseball tournament for R.J.  The Trojans played a double header.  R.J. pitched a great game.  I enjoy watching him play because he loves the game so much.  I am always looking for that smile that comes when he strikes someone out that he tries to hide it behind the glove.  He makes baseball fun for me!  Sore muscles and all it was a great holiday.
