5K Run Through the Lavender

The weather has finally warmed up in the mountains, so I've been hiking in the mornings near my home. The views are breathtaking! I'm trying to work up to a slow jog, then perhaps actually running (I've never been a runner, but I REALLY want to participate in our 5K race at Lavender Days).

We had over 400 participants in last year's 5K at Lavender Days, and this year's run promises to be bigger and better! We've been busy collecting prizes and donations, and to be honest, it's the prizes that are motivating me to run this year! (More news on prizes soon.)

If you've never participated in a 5K before, the Lavender Days 5K Run Through the Lavender will be a sweet treat for you. Not only are the views breathtaking as you run, jog, or walk through the vibrant lavender fields in full bloom, but you will also enjoy the aroma of fragrant lavender, and if you're competitive, win some great prizes!

There are still six weeks left to train, so call your friends and family and have everyone join you in the best 5K in Utah. If you're interested in sharing tips with our readers on how you train for 5Ks or other running events, send us a comment and you may be one of three randomly chosen winners. Each winner will receive a bottle of Young Living's NingXia Red--the juice of champions.
