Charleston Distance Run

This morning we participated in the Charleston Distance Run. Well, I did the shortest part, the 5K... Amy and Isaac did the 5K walk. It was pretty fun. We went down to the Capital Building on Friday night to get our packets and shirts. Then on Saturday morning we got up loaded the kids up and off we went. We got to the start line with just enough time to get our stretches done. I bailed on the family and took off running once the cannon when off. I was a nice flat course. We started in front of the Capital Building and ran north along the river. Then we cut one block to the east and doubled back, worked our way through the blocks and ended in the University of Charleston's football stadium. Once I got across the finish line I backtracked to finish the walk with Amy and Isaac, pushing Lexy in a stroller. Isaac was having a great time. He has been walking in the evening to train for this and his training paid off.

Here is my tubby butt after we finished. Here is our walking team.
We've got the bug now, we are looking for another 5K in the next few weeks.

  1. That's great you all could do the race. Maybe next year you all could race in tne Onion Days 5K. If you do I will too. But, I'm sure I'll be walking and not running. Congrats! Keep up the training. See all of you soon. gma
