Let me tell you about her, on June 1 2008 the place that she works part time is called Sorenson Communication. They are a nationwide company that is headquartered right here in Salt Lake City. They put out a challenge for all of there employees to be physically fit, and said that they would give as a prize, $500.00 to the first person that walked and ran to Disney Land from Salt Lake City , which is 680 miles. Everyone in the company was given the same opportunity. Sorenson's have 85 centers with app. 2500 employees through out the United States.
So on June 1st Sue started her trek to Disney Land by walking and running. Each employee was given (those that wanted) a walk monitor. Which would record the number of mikes you walked each day. Sue said that she would walk between 2 to 4 miles a day depending on how busy she was. But it would not record the running part, so you had to keep track and then each week email to the company what she had done. Besides running on her own she did the Burley Idaho Spudman Triathlon which was a 1 mile swim, 25 mile bike ride and 6 mile run. She also ran the Murray Fun Days 5K with the kids 1/2 mile run (she ran along side with Corbin for moral support). She did the Little Red Riding Hood 100 mile bike ride and the Logan M S 100 mile bike ride. Sue always said, I sure with that I could count some of this bike riding. Along with taking care of her 3 daughters and a husband, she has been one busy gal.
So today at 8:23 AM after her 10 mile run she emailed them that she had reached her goal, 680.7 miles. She thinks that she is the first one to reach Disney Land. Sue told me that in the last 3 days she's had to run 32 miles. You figure it out, from June 1st to August 13th is 74 days, divided by 680 miles is 9.1 miles per day walking and running. Boy am I tired just figuring it out..................
Sue, mom and I are sooooooooo proud of you...............What a great accomplishment............
In her email she told them that she wanted to fly home, no way was she going to run home. We'll let you all know what the final out come is. But we all feel that she won after talking to others that were doing it and those in charge. GREAT JOB SUE...............
