Nic came in at 27:02, Mommy at 27:03 and Daddy at 33:40. Let me do the math for you, that's 6:37 behind me and Nic. So not only did we beat him, we cooked him. Let me do more math for you, I ran under a 9 minute mile pace. That's about a full minute faster than I was running the week before! So let me just pat myself on the back for a minute........Ok, I'm back.
It was a fun race overall. Hot and humid, but all very do-able for 3.1 miles. This was my first race with a baby jogger and it was definately my biggest concern. It ended up making it a lot more fun as Nic got cheered on by all the folks on the side of the road. He, of course, slept the whole way. I heard a couple comments from people as I squeezed past in the first mile. I heard "I don't see why they allow baby joggers in the race, there's just not enough room for them"; and "I hate it when the baby joggers pass me, especially when it's a woman pushing twins and I still can't keep up"; and "You ran the whole way pushing him?". Before too long I had gotten out of the crowd and we had room to run. There were two baby jogger runners total in the race, too bad there wasn't a prize for that since I came in first in that division. Another mommy milestone reached.
Now it's time for the next challenge.
