The Nestle

This year, Jeff and I thought it would be fun if we ran The Nestle 5k as a family. I had Houston in the running stroller with me, and Jeff ran with Hunter. This was Hunter's first 5k race. As you can see, we had quite the group with us. Kayla and Mash were there. My Mom came and walked with me. Keith and Debbie were racing each other, and my Grandpa came as a last minute entry.

Everyone did great! Hunter had a hard time, especially at the last quarter of a mile, but as soon as he saw everyone smiling and cheering him on at the finish line, he got a big smile on and sprinted to the finish.

Mom and I walked almost the entire time, we ended up running down the hill (the pull of gravity on me was really strong), and then the last quarter of mile. We got to the track, and I told my mom that we should give the people something to look at. It's not everyday that you see an eight month pregnant woman, pushing a running stroller running.

After the race, they had drawings and prizes. Unfortunately we didn't win anything. But there is always next year.

Kayla and Mash. This was Mash's first race.

Hunter got an award for running the race, and being under six years old. He was very proud of his accomplishment.

Debbie also got an award. She took second in her age division. Although her win wasn't quite complete, because Keith beat her by five seconds.

Overall we had a great time! We are for sure going to be running in it next year!
