5k #1 - "Conquer the Canyon"

Bevan before the 1 mile

This past Saturday was our first 5k. It is one that I have done before, actually twice, since it's right in town. This year it was a whole family affair- Katie did the 5k, Maddie, Bevan and Doug
did the 1 mile run. It was fun for everyone!
We sure looked happy at the beginning!

The run goes up the canyon and then turns and comes back down. The whole way up I was hurting, my hip and leg were hurting so I ended up walking more than I thought. Because of this, I thought for sure my time would be slower than usual. I was pleasantly surprised and my time was actually 1 minute faster than the Top of Utah 5k that means it is probably about 4-5 minutes faster than the last time I did this same 5k. That makes me happy! Small improvements, that's all I want!
Alesa, Tori and Mindee Nyman also did the run. It was so fun to have to many people there! Tori and Alesa once again came and helped me finish the race. Even Maddie, Savannah and Dallin helped me finish. What a great experience! Can't wait for #2 on June 19th!!!
