Pre-race routine:

Event warmup:

Just the walk

Comments:

I have been PTing for the last couple of weeks. My goal for this race was to run 5 minutes and walk 5 minutes. I was hoping that I would be back to normal (ok at least heathy) and was going to do the 10K or 5K for a time test. I manned up and didn't push myself at all. The good news is no pain after the race.

I was able to make this a great training walk/run. My daughter did really well. I got toward the end of the finish line and turned around and headed back to run with her. We finished strong together--until the race announcer said--"Beat your Dad." Then it was game on! She took me a the the photo finish!
What would you do differently?:

Be healthy.
Post race
Warm down:

I walked around and talked to a bunch of people that we knew. I picked up the race bag and headed back with the family.

Event comments:

Great local race. I hope to do it again next year!

It must be a great satisfaction to run with your daughter, good job on getting her out and having fun doing healthy things. Hope the foot is better!

Hey! You said you weren't going to do it!

Nice start to your recovery, and great job pushing your daughter! One of these days, I'm actually going to do this race, but it never fits into my schedule.
