I've been wanting to do a 5K. I've been running but I never seem been able to get a race in. Then a young man in our ward organized a 5K for his Eagle Scout project and I decided this was going to be my time to race. The kids decided to do it with me, well, except for Kelsey. All she wanted to do was sleep. Saturday is her only day to sleep in since she has to get up for swim team practice at 5:30 every morning. I don't blame her. Kate and Ryan were just going to run the 1 mile loop but then decided they were going to go for it. Jason was volunteering as a medic so I was left with Jenna and Eric. I got out the OLD Burley, strapped them in and realized that pushing a stroller with 2 kids in it is hard. The race started out quite hilly but then evened out. That's when the sun decided to come out and boy was it HOT!!! I was really excited for the water they were passing out 1/2 way. I felt good and strong throughout. I wasn't exactly fast but I was steady. And like I said pushing a stroller is hard! My first 5K time was 36 something. Ryan was 39 and Kate was an 1 hour. Kate got a little distracted during the race. Scroll down and you'll see by what.
What could they be looking at?
Yep, it was a frog distracted them from the race
But we all finished!
