2 down 2 to go!

I set a goal to walk/run not ONE but FOUR 5k's this summer! Call me crazy, but I thought it would be a great goal! One 5k each month. Last Saturday I finished my 2nd 5k! It was actually a neighborhood 5k which started and ended at the school by our house. Everyone was welcome to participate even the kids on their bikes! We made it a family event! Nate and I tried keeping up with the kids on their bikes, and Caleb rode in his stroller.

So I started 'training' with the kids early in the summer! We would go almost every day. I would jog while they rode their bikes. It made for a good workout. We didn't quite do the entire course on our practice runs...and well it showed!
We were all pretty tired by the end! But we didn't give up! We finished the race and that's what counts! We didn't come in first, ok we came in dead last! But it was fun! We had a late night the night before and an early morning when the race began, little Miss Mara was too tired to ride anymore! Even at the end which was all down hill! She just wanted a ride on her daddy's shoulders. So where is her bike? I have it on top of the jogging stroller! But we DID it! We all finished! It was a fun activity to do as a family! Next year we will do even better! It was a good feeling of accomplishment finishing the race! Go Team Lewis!
