I did alot better than i thought i would concidering how long it had been since i had run.
this particular 5k benifits familys who have lost children as well as fallen fire fighters.
my favorite part of the whole thing was getting to cheer for my son as he crossed his very first finnish line :) he was so excited to finnish on foot (even though he spent the rest of the race in the stroller) he kept telling me "hurry mommy hurry" so i ran ahead and got ready to take photos of he and my parents coming across the finnish.
after the race was over we ended up walking almost two miles back to our cars because we ended in a place that was a ways away from where we had started. there was a bus transporting others back but we had the big bulky jogging stroller and didnt want to fuss with it so we enjoyed a relaxing cool down walk back.
I think that this is the start of a great tradition for me and my kids. Not only does it encourage us staying active it is for a good cause that is close to my heart and my familys heart. I hope that next year we can get more people to join us in the fun.
