 Run
Comments: THis was a good run for me, except for the fact that i hate 5ks. I hate running at Z4/Z5. But we started slow because of the crowd and we had the stroller so we started at the back. THe crowd thinned out and we got our pace going. First mile was 9 min and this was ok. THen tried to kick it up on the second mile, but just did not feel it. SO kept it around 9.5 and continued. Greg was great, pushing me the whole time. He is a great motivator. I loved all the spetators that were waiting for the youth parade to go by, It was so much fun listening to the bands and cheering. I love this race because it is such a family event and a great community builder. Plus it takes us less than 5 minutes to get there. Overall this run was fine, i really pushed it last littel bit. But i feel like i should have pushed harder. Anyway, my goal is to improve running at this level. What would you do differently?: Go faster .  Post race
Warm down: We walked around the park and let jackson play, ride the ponys, got aa hotdog, played on the playground.(he ad a lot of fun too) Left there and headed straight to starbucks. What limited your ability to perform faster: My focus to run as hard as i possibly can. Event comments: THis is a grreat family race. THe best part of the day was when greg got his number jackson wanted to wear it so we pinned it on him and he ran around saying he was racing. It meant the world to me to be able to race with my family. It is rare that i do a race simply for the fun of it, and this was definitely for the fun of it. Last updated: 2007-09-26 12:00 AM

Got up, not early, cuz the race did not begin until 945. Had some coffee, a little PBJ, some water. Had a relaxing morning. Got jackson up, gave him breakfast then headed down to teh park.
THe finish line was at RAP but the start was on teh other side of downtown. SO we parked at RAp then ran about 1.5 miles to the start. Got greg registered and walked aorund looking at the parade floats and marching bands. jackson loved it!!
