We did a 5K!!!

We did a 5K on April 25 and we actually finished it. We didn't train for it, and Mama Lou didn't know she was doing it until Friday night. The course was a there and back course which meant that after the halfway point you went back the way you came. There was a water station at 1/4 of the way and at halfway (the turn around point) and then you passed the 1/4 mark water station again when you were 3/4 of the way. Mary Lou and I walked the course and pushed the babies in the strollers. We did well and kept a pretty steady pace. David and Jordan ran together. Kamron ran by himself.

Kamron was the first one to finish in our family, 22nd in the race overall, with a time of 24 mins, 12 secs. I couldn't believe he did so well. He passed Mama Lou and me at the 1/4 mark water station. He was 3/4 of the way done and we had gone only 1/4 of the way!! I was really proud of him.

Jordan was the next to finish with a time of 34 mins, 43 secs. (I'm not sure of what place he finished in.) He also did much better than I expected. He finished ahead of David, who was next in the family to finish but he didn't really run the whole thing. He started later than the boys (with me and Mary Lou) and then decided to catch up to Kamron and run with him. He didn't catch Kamron, but he cut across to be with Jordan. So boo on not doing the full race, but yay for being a Great Dad and spending some time with his boy!!!

Mama Lou and I were the last to finish in our family, we were in something like 930th and 931st place, with a time of 56+ minutes. The fact that we finished with out falling out is impressive to me. Of course Mary Lou did well, she probably walks more than 3 miles every day at work. But I was truly shocked that I didn't have to stop and rest several times, not even once. It was amazing to me!! So...

Hooray for the Heath Family for finishing the 5K and without complaining!
