Caylee "ran" her first race with me on Saturday to support the Mother's Milk Bank. It got extremely cold all of a sudden, so I was running around trying to find all our cold weather things to bundle up for the morning outside.
The boys were very sweet for deciding to come cheer us on in the cold and Connor loved the little cow he got in our goody bag!
Before the race, Caylee got out and played with some of the other babies in the VIP nursing area. It was really nice to have a little toy area and diaper changing station for them.
The night before, I found out that strollers were not allowed in the 5k, so I could only do the 3k walk with her. Since I didn't train at all, that was probably a better choice anyway. When we started the race, I realized that everyone was walking super slow and I could get towards the front pretty easily. Caylee and I pushed hard up the hills and made our way towards the front of the walkers. When the track turned around, I realized we were in 5th place! A bunch of people stopped to get water, so I ran right past them and kept going. I mostly walked, but I did a few spurts of jogging when I felt like I could. At the end, I'm pretty sure I was the 3rd place walker and the 1st place walker on our team! We did awesome for not training or working out the entire spring or summer, so I'm pretty proud!
