for the 4th of july, kev and i went with his family up to snowflake, az where his grandparents live. it's a fun, old-time, americana town with fun parades, rodeos, and "highly entertaining" cowboy poetry contests. on the morning of the 4th, kev and i decided, at the last minute, to run in the local 10k race. we arrived at what we thought was the correct race location, only to get stuck in a forever long (and not to mention extremely lame) anvil-launching parade. 20 minutes late, we show up to the race and start. kev still got 3rd place in his age-group and i'm sure i finished somewhere near the top:) (i somehow misplaced my time) not bad!
