I have a new love, running!!! I know, it is really weird! When I hear myself say it, or even read I think to myself, "What the Heck, are you mental! You Jenny Curtis, enjoy running?" I do not even know how this happened, but it did and I am loving it. I ran my first 5K two weeks ago, it was sponsored by , "Running with Angels". I had so much fun that I did another one Saturday, it was sponsored by "Envision Lending", and you guessed it I am doing one this Saturday, also. This one is for an Eagle Scout project in Karen's ward, they are meeting down by the Jordan River bottom.
This was my first race. I ran the 5K which is 3.2 miles in 31.27 minutes. I came in 179 out of 760 people. There were 89 women in my age group and I came in number 11. This was so much fun. I ran the race with my friend Tari, it was at Thanksgiving point and it was so beautiful. I would recommend this race to anyone who is thinking about doing a 5K.
This was my 2nd 5K. This one was a little different, they weren't into statistics. I was lucky to get my time, which after asking several people, I was told the time of 33 minutes. So I was a little bit slower. Why? I came to these conclusions:
- Running against the wind slowed me down.
- They were having trouble with the timer.
- I forgot to eat my Wheaties.
- I ran slower.
The fun thing about this 5K is that my friend Stacy and I both won raffle prizes. I won the Indiana Jones trilogy on DVD, and she won some tram passes to Snowbird. We also got to run, which is way fun!!! So if anyone wants to join me, I will be lacing up my shoes again this Saturday.
