Well today was the Run-4-kids race. I ran with my little kids, McKade 8 and Jadyn 5, in the 1k and pushed a jog stroller with Kamri (6 1/2 months old) in it and then ran in the 5k. It was a fun race but the hills sucked! I was not ready for the hills and so I tried to walk a little up the hills. My goal was to run under 30 minutes and I did it! WAHOO! I ran in 29:29. I was 11th in my age group and 49th overall. Not too shabby for my very first race ever!
My husband took 2nd in his division (10k) by losing to the first place person by 2 seconds, bummer! My son AJ took 2nd in his division (10k)! My daughter Anycia took 1st in her division (5k) and her first race! My sister Erin took 1st in her division (10k) and 3rd overall! My brother Dave ran the 10k too but didn't place but still came in 8th in his division! My Mom Jacquie took 5th in her age division and this was her first race ever too! So we had a bunch of people running. I had lots of family do the 1k and cheer us on when we came in to cross the finish line.
Overall it was lots of fun and I am excited for my next event...well not really I just saw the elevation maps for my triathlon...SCARY! Hopefully it will go well. |
