Getting active with a fun run
Today was the Lawrence 1/2 Marathon and 5K. As a family, we’re not really physically ready for a 5K (and I don’t see myself ever running a 1/2 marathon), so instead we participated in a smaller, third activity - the 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk.
There weren’t any prizes for this race, if you can even call it a “race.” There were several parents wheeling their kids in strollers like us, and lots of kids being active.
I would have loved to do the 5K, but my body isn’t up to that yet. So, I decided to do this as kind of a christening of sorts. After being out of work from illness and a back injury, then a month of therapy, I wanted to do something to “get out there and get going.”
It was quite a bit of fun. My friend Sara wants to pick a 5K for us to train for to run this summer. I’m up for the challenge.
