Today my family ran/walked a 5k.
UVU held a 5k today, they call it the No Snow 5k it is to support Habitat for Humanity in Utah County. It is held completely inside. there are 2 routes one (with stairs) is 3 laps of stairs and then 3 short laps around the courtyard (for those of you who are familiar with UVU this includes the hall of flags). the non stair route is 12 laps of the courtyard.
my family has times ranging from 41:31 to 68 min. Katie and I (Lillian) did extra laps before going to the finish line because we are a bit odd. (I wanted to finish with my husband and it took 2 extra laps to catch up to him and Katie half way through started walking with Grandpa Wilkinson.
We invited the Utah County Wilkinsons to go with us, and most of them did. Grandpa, John and Alicia, James and Tiffany, and James' kids and James neighbor Brad came.
Chandler and Janet did the stair route and ran most of it. Jim and Daniel ran most of the non stair route. I only ran while I was trying to catch my husband. I had told a friend I was not going to run, I was planning on taking a leisurely stroll and enjoy myself. apparently I did not stroll leisurely enough because all of my children that I started with found someone else to go with. as I was on part of the catch up to tom to finish part James was with me. He told me that I walk fast.
Any way I am very proud of myself and my whole famiy for our starting and completing of this race.
We are going to look for other races to go on and we are training for a 10K in July.
