5K!

    Okay, it has been quite a while since I've posted, and I have had quite a few things happen, but the one that I'm really excited about is the fact that I ran a 5K (3.1 miles!) It was a Memorial Day activity for the whole stake, and admittedly, I really, really, really didn't want to run it, but thankfully, it wasn't my choice. My parents made me run it, and now I'm really glad that they did. I am not even going to pretend that I ran the whole way, in fact, I ran a little more than half. Obviously, there is plenty of room for improvement. I started out running with my mom, but she wasn't doing so great. She has been doing P90X (an INCREDIBLY hard work out program,) and while that does an amazing job of improving your muscles, it doesn't make up for good, old fashioned running. She has decided that she still wants to continue P90X, because she can see improvement, but she is going to start running as well. Anyways, to make a long story short, I ended up pushing Ryan and Abigail in the jogging stroller. I'm positive that I looked ridiculous, and I'm pretty sure that Ryan and Abigail were gaining weight by the minute, but I still finished before my mom (victory!) That does not in any way though, mean that I beat my dad or Tyson, because I didn't. I don't know my time, but whether I took 10 minutes (I didn't) or 50 (I know I didn't take that long,) I still am proud that I finished, (that's more than some people can say!) I am grateful I had that fun opportunity!
