It 
was Lehi Days the week of June 22-27th. I signed mom and I u
p to "run" the 5k this year. It started at 7:00 am and they actually started on time this year-YAY! We were pretty pleased with ourselves, for 2 non-runners. I took off running and ended up making it in about 36 minutes-not to shabby for this girl who as I said-is not a runner. Mom came in about 3 minutes after me at 39 minutes. When we later checked our times on the website they had divided everyone up into different age groups. My age group was of course one with the most participants, but mom came in 1st place in
her division!! (ok it turns out she was the only one in her division, but still, 1st place is 1st place, and she even won a prize) Way to go mom!! We are on a bit of a roll now with 2 5K's this year, and we are thinking of doing the one in AF in a couple of weeks. We think if we actually did any training at all we could bet fairly decent at these. I've never done much running but I think the fact that it isn't a real long distance gives me hope that one of these days I can run the whole thing with no walking--that's the goal anyway!

you are awesome! I always want to do 5K's but I'm not a runner either. Maybe I should just start walking them and work up to running. Breakfast was fun with you and nikki the other day. I loved it.
Way to go Ladies, you are awesome!
