5K WITH GRANDMA

I must start this post by bragging about my grandma. She is amazing. I can only hope that I have HALF of the energy she has when I am her age.

Saturday, her Stake was putting on a 5K and she was planning on walking it. Her goal was to walk it in under 45 minutes. That is a fast walk...4.0 mph pace. Clayton and I ran the race and then went back and walked the rest of it with her. I thought that walking with her after running would slow down my heart rate, but it didn't. I had a hard time keeping up with her.


The best part is that she TOTALLY beat the time that she wanted to get. She walked it in 41 minutes and 8 seconds and she wasn't even winded. Way to go Gram. She came in 2nd place in her age group. Clayton and I also tied (with each other) for second place in our age group. Doesn't she look more like my mother than my grandma.!?! Love you Grams. Thanks for letting us run/walk the race with you.
