Happy 4th of July!!!  I ran the Freedom Run course today pushing the kiddos in the stroller.  Our original plan was for me just to run next to Wes the entire time.  Too bad strollers had to start in the very very very back.  Ran by myself until I saw Dave Hill (not sure on last name) at mile 2.5 and ran with him until I found Wes at mile 5.5 :)  It was a nice distraction to talk to someone.  I think we were going at a pretty good pace too.  So my time with the stroller was around 55 minutes.  What a blast!!!  Wes' time on his watch said 53:42.  Not too shabby for his first 10k race!

Way to go Wes & Leandra!!! Our neighbors Chad and Larry ran as well.  And Lynsey did the 5k I can't wait to hear how she did!

Mile 1 - Uphill and hard w/ the stroller.  I think it was an 11 min mile or slower.  Kept thinking it might have been a mistake to take the stroller.  And I started way back in the back of the pack so weaving in an out was impossible.

Mile 2 - AWESOME down hill, the weight of the kids literally pulled me down.

Mile 3 - Met up w/ Dave ran along the parade route

Mile 4 - Feeling ok, conversation w/ Dave was great

Mile 5 - Still feeling ok, huffing and puffing a little

Mile 6 - uphill not fun, Dave pushed a little for me and then ran w/ Wes, stopped and my neighbor chad took the stroller and I ran w/ Wes almost to the finish, then I turned around found chad and pushed the kids to find Wes & the gang!

Great pics! You don't have a swollen pig face Leandra. Something's wrong with your monitor.

That's great! I should've done it with you! Oh well, the speedy mexican is coming up and we can do it then. Good times!

Too bad we were not running the same race, we could have run together pushing our strollers! It was hard to manuever those things through all of those people, but it was a good workout!

Great job to you and your family! And I see Leandra found a red shirt!! Wish I had been able to spot you guys among the crowds.

From Merri on Sun, Jul 05, 2009 at 23:25:00 from 207.88.76.69

I know I wish I would have been able to find you too Kelli, but that place was packed! Strollers are no fun to run with :)
