Niketown 5K for Kids - Run5k

Very proud of my little girl. We ran the entire way out to the turn around point. We walked for 0.2 miles while she drank some water and rested a bit. We then ran the rest of the way to the finish.

Need to motivate my daughter to run a little more before the race, but other than that, absolutely nothing. We went out to have a nice morning jog together and for her to have fun and I would say we succeeded.

Walked, drank water, ate a banana and some cookies.


Nothing


This was just a Sunday morning jog for me and only the second organized race ever for my daughter. Our goal was just to go out and have some fun and maybe continue the spark towards running and just being active for her. She struggled mentally a couple of times, but she stuck with it and exceeded her 45 minute goal. She only walked 0.2 of the 3.1 miles. She did great and I am so very proud of her. I look forward to this event every year since they do such a great job with this event. The focus is on the kids and getting them to lead an active lifestyle. I enjoy my competitions the rest of the year, but this is my favorite event of the entire year. Go Nike! By the way, in this their 10th year here in Hawaii, they topped $1 Million dollars contributed to Hawaii school athletic programs. I highly recomend this race to anyone, especially if you have kids.
Also, there are a couple of photos in my album.
