The 5k I Didn't Run

I knew the school 5k was coming up and I was trying to figure out how to be supportive and yet not have to exert the energy it takes to run a 5k. I sort of wanted to run an official race since the last one I ran was in high school and if memory serves me right I only ran that one because it was required.

I finally talked myself into planning on actually running it. As I've said before I am not a runner. I pretty much only run if I'm being chased. So, I decided to do a practice 5k on the treadmill. It was bearable since I could watch tv while I ran. The only down fall was when I moved my hand to fix something I brought it back up and I whacked it on the arm of the treadmill and it left a big old goose egg. Another reason why I don't run.

I went to help set up the day of the race and it got so hectic that I didn't even get the chance to run because I was helping with other stuff. Oh well, at least I got my treadmill 5k in.

Graham did run (I mean walk) the 1K and once it was over Jonah wanted to give it a try so I walked him a few yards from the finish line and he ran on in and got a ribbon too.

Here are some random pics of the event...
