(Check out the loot we got in our packet for our 5k! Cute bag huh?)
I was at work one day minding my own business when Angela asked me if I would like to run a 5k with her. I simply laughed and made some smart remark about dying if I ever ran that far. Then about 5 minutes later she asked me again. In the heat of the moment I didn't know what to say. So somehow the word YES came out. That same day she had herself me and Malissa all enrolled to run in the Springville 5k. She is such a good friend to get me going again... I started running almost everyday. Not far but enough that I felt really good afterward. I had forgotten how great it feels to run!
So we decided since the 5k was in Springville (which by the way was wonderful cause nobody that I knew was there so they couldn't watch and laugh at me) we went to spend the night there. So after work that day we took off and ate at the Olive Garden because we had to get plenty of carbs before :) We drove and drove and somehow ended up in Pleasant Grove, found out we had taken a slight detour and got back on track. The next morning we woke up way earlier than I am use to and ran in the 5k. I am proud to say I finished.. And not only did I finish but before a lot of other people:) 39 minutes... Not bad for going from not running at all. The ride home was extremely long because we somehow ended up getting caught in traffic from 3 different accidents. Poor Angela was getting car sick and Malissa and I were FORCED to eat cotton candy salt water taffy... It was very fun and pretty sure I will be going next year if it means I will be getting all the fun stuff I got this year.

I am so proud of you. Wish I was brave enough to have done this. And dang I missed out on the loot. Seriously.
