My first 5k Run (ever :)

So, my parents organized the Suncrest Race in Draper and this year was the second annual race. They have a 1/2 marathon, a 5k, and a 3k fun run. My sister, Mary, and I decided to train for the 5k last week, ya, last week :) So we didn't think we would do all that great, but I think we did great in the end! It is crazy to run in Suncrest, most of the trail was in the mountains on a dirt path with rocks, trees, etc. Then we weaved through neighborhood streets that were steep roads, up and down. Yes, I know it was only 3 miles, but it was tough. My Dad is amazing and ran the 1/2 marathon (he just turned 58). He did well too! In the end, I was just happy to have finished the race without dieing along the way :) Here are some pics.......

I wasn't smiling most of the race, I was only smiling here because Gavin was cheering me on and making me laugh. Most of the race, I couldn't breathe, lol.

waiting to take off...
My Dad at the end of the 1/2 marathon, I hope I am like him at 58!
