Today, the three of us participated in the Seal Beach 5K! Last year when Ed did the 10K, we saw lots of people pushing strollers and he said then that he wanted to do it the next year with Ruby – and today, we did! This was my first organized race, and I have to say – it was pretty exciting! About 5500 people participated, and the energy from everyone racing, along with the community who were scattered throughout the course to cheer everyone on, made it so much fun. You really can’t go wrong walking a course at the beach on a Saturday morning in April!
We are feeling proud, because even with a kid and a stroller, we walked the 5K in 45 minutes flat. Ed actually came in 3rd place in his age division, and I came in 8th! Our time put us at a pace of approximately a 14 minute mile. Not too bad!
Here are a few shots from the day:
