Ran my 5K

in April 2011 Moms

I just finished the Alaska Heart Run, my first competitive 5K.  My goal was to complete the whole thing without stopping to walk, which I didn't quite do.  I walked about 100 feet of the race, but ran the rest while pushing Chase in the stroller.  It was my longest run to date and my fastest run to date, so I'm happy about that.  There are 5,000 runners and walkers that participate and all together we earned over $200K for the American Heart Association!

My running partner and I, after the run.

    Yay, go you!  DD has been in two 5ks - one pushed by DH and one pushed by me.  It is so much harder to run while pushing a stroller - I am impressed you only walked once!! Big Smile

    Kudos to you!  I started running with a friend to loose weight before my wedding, then got pregnant right away, had a baby and now and pregnant again.  maybe next spring I can take it up again.  It's so motivating to have a race to be training for.  Have you chose your next adventure?

    I do have my next race planned.  I'm doing a 6K in early June.

    Great job!  I've pushed DS in two races so far and it is definitely not easy.

    Pushing stroller=so much harder!! Great job mama! I ran my first race recently, it was a 4.2 mile race (Pat Tillman Foundation-pat's run) and did not push a stroller. I still had to stop and walk.
