Summer Time Challenge-DONE
This past Spring I set a goal for myself to run a 5K this Summer. Last Saturday, Mindy, Scott and I ran a 5K hosted by Mindy's stake. I trained all Summer for this moment. I have not ran a 5K race for over twelve years. Considering that I am close to thirty, I've had two kids and I'm packing a little extra weight, I think I did fabulous! I ran the race in 31:53 and came in 7th in my division. Scott flew past me and finished 4th in his division. Mindy did awesome also and came in 5th in her division. This race means nothing to the outside world but to me it means so much more. I can run! And I did not finish last. My only hope was that I would not come in last and that I looked great and not like I was about to die!! I hope I get to do it again! If anyone knows of a FREE 5K anywhere in Utah County, let me know!

Holly, you and Scott did great and the kids did great also. Thanks for the invite. Keep up the good work.
Way to go! I told Matt if he finished the tri he signed up for earlier this summer that I'd do a 5K. Haven't started training yet though. I'm so lazy. What did you do to train (I mean, when and how far and how often)?
Congratulations, I know how hard you worked and I'm soooo happy for you that you found a race to run. Your amazing!
