I completed my first 5k today. It was great. I put Naiyah in her jogging stroller and walked and ran the 5k. My first event on Mother's Day. Yeah.
The weather is very cooperative. It was on the cool side, but for those doing the half marathon it was probably perfect. As we completed the last mile, I was more than warm enough. The 1st mile ended with a nice hill. It was great fun pushing that stroller up the hill. It really blew my plan of walk .5 and run .5. During the second mile, I was able to get in some running.
Honestly, I think I could have ran more, but the stroller held me back a bit. Oh well, it also challenged me during the hills. So, all probably evened out. I'm sure only my time suffered. My heart rate was certainly in the upper ranges.

Happy Mother's Day!!!
