My First 5k

So last month My 10 year old daughter and I did our first 5k!
Yay  =)  we had a wonderful time.   We started out at 6am getting ready for our morning.
We were full of butterflies and excitement.  We drove to the round up spot and found our names to get registered.  We grabbed our T-shirts and found a spot to stand by and wait till start time.  

Finally the time came to get all lined up.  Everyone filled the street.  We found a couple spots for ourselves and anticipated the Start! 
Then off we were running in all the hustle and bustle!  Woohoo we were off to an excellent start! 
Yaxha, my daughter loves to run, she loves racing the kids at school.  She especially loves to beat the boys.  :)  She is a great sprinter but I found out she needs help staying at a steady pace.  But our first 5k was not the place to teach her that.  So we ran then walked then ran some more then walked! 

I was able to point out to her how the more seasoned runners were staying steady. They were not running Fast but a nice and even pace. It was great to see the variety of people out that beautiful Saturday morning.  We saw older ones and very young ones, Mom's pushing baby's in strollers and couples motivating each other along.  We enjoyed it so much we are determined to do more.

I love that I can share my love of health and fitness with my family.

What type of fitness do you do with your Family??
