My First 5 K Run

A couple of months ago, my sister Gina told me about a 5K run in Ivins Ut at the Tuacahn Theater.  I decided to register and participate in the race. The race was yesterday March 26.  It was a new experience.  There were around 600 people participating. My Dad, and Gina also participated and finished the race.  My time was 28 Minutes 25 Seconds.  I finished 33rd Overall, 1st of the men in my age group, 19th out of the men, and 1st in my age group.  Not to bad for a 58 year old that didn't even like running when I was young!  It was fun and glad I am glad I participated.
