** When Julia and I returned from our race, Carly "raced" us up and down the hall way. Maybe I should have signed her up for the 25 meter kid run for children 4 and under.**

Run, Baby Run!
Baby Orr #2 (18 weeks) and I ran our first race together today! The idea of working out to stay healthy was not enough motivation for 6 am wake ups during this pregnancy. Sleep seemed to regularly trump the idea of an early morning run when my alarm sounded. I decided signing up for a race would be the perfect motivation. My search for a 5K found a turkey trot in Charleston, SC. The timing worked well with our Thanksgiving plans and I even had Julia for a running partner during the race. So at 9am, Julia, Baby Orr #2, and I took off on our first 5Ks. Julia and I ran the entire race together until our separate sprints to the finish line and finished with the pace of 10:04 minutes/mile.

Well done, Turkey Trot you and Julia and Baby #2. What an excellent exercise example you are giving your children. Love Aunt Bubble
ReplyDeleteUncle Earl said he thought you should have had a tee shirt for the race that said "Baby on board."
