2007 Great Pumpkin Race - mini report

First road race since the Fired Up 5k. Wow, nice weather makes all the difference in the world. I pushed Alison in the jogging stroller, which had nearly flat tires! Yup, I forgot my air pump. Good thing she doesn't weigh much, so it wasn't a "deal breaker". There was a couple psi left, so the rims were not on the road. Erin also ran, pushing Pre in the other jogging stroller.

I ran 10 minutes walked 3 minutes (repeat). This kept the run both easy and fun. Even with 6-minutes of walking and pushing a stroller, I managed to clock a 38:21 5k. I'll take a 12:12 average pace! Erin finished several minutes ahead of me. She's never concerned with her time and doesn't wears a watch, so I'm not sure of her exact time yet.

Alison ran the kids 1k. Erin said it was everything she could do to keep up with her. Alison finished in 6:10. THAT'S A 9:55/mile pace. Way to go, Ally!

Here are some pictures from this morning. Forgot to mention I saw Cass and her husband, Carlos who appeared to be on a causual Saturday run, and I saw my RD at the post race party.
