Friends and family, if you know me well, then you better sit down for this one. :)
This morning I ran in a 5K race. I kid you not.
Okay, three things.
1. It was the Run Like a Mother race in Ridgefield, CT.
2. 5K is ~3 miles.
3. I can't talk about it with a straight face. Me? Run? Hahaha! Really it was more of a jog-when-I-think-my-family-is-watching/really-fast-mall-walk.
Did I train?
Um...sort-of. I walked around our neighborhood a pre-determined number of laps pushing the double stroller (sometimes tripled up). I also hit the pavement in the basement while watching HGTV--that was as exciting as it sounds.
And whatever in this world would possess me to do such a thing?
Plain and simple.
Peer pressure.
I ran bright and early (8:30a) on this beautiful Mother's Day with Becca and Emily.

Emily and I finished our walk/run in about 35 minutes. :) Becca is an actual runner and beat us by a landslide. :)
Beza pre-race.

ReplyDeleteGini! You ROCK! I am so proud that you ran it for all those momma's like me that just simply can not run! You got me thinking that maybe I don't give myself enough credit!
