Trudi Thomas Memorial 5K Run
The West Bountiful Arts Council is organizing a 5K run in memory of Trudi Thomas, who passed away earlier this year. In her memory, her parents have established a scholarship fund for students who attend the University of Utah. The proceeds from the 5K race will help fund the scholarship:
In memory of my life and love for education my parents are establishing a scholarship fund in my name at the University of Utah. The city of West Bountiful has asked my parents to organize a 5K walk/run for the Founder's Day celebration on September 15 with all proceeds going to the fund. Your participation in this would be greatly appreciated either by running/walking or a cash donation. Come join us by walking, running, pushing a stroller, or even walking the dog on September 15th.
Thank you for participating and helping us make the "Trudi Thomas Memorial Scholarship Fund" a reality. Donations can be made at any America First Credit Union under the "Trudi Thomas Memorial Scholarship Fund.
In honor of Trudi and for my own well-being, I have decided to participate in the 5K with my daughter. I am not a runner and this will be my first attempt at a 5K. Walking the route would be something I could do, but I decided to do more.
As I was looking around the Internet I found Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan
It is a 9 week program to get even a couch potato such as myself ready to jog the 3 plus miles of a 5K race. I am in the 3rd week of the program and it seems to be doing the trick. Each week I can push myself to go a little further.
I have 6 weeks left to go on the program and almost 6 weeks to the run. I am looking forward to completing the run.
