Sophie's First 5k-The Walnut Festival 5k

Soph's first 5k is this weekend! It will be a family affair with all of us running the 5k. Brian will have Bub in the jogger, but hopefully Bubba will run parts of it. Soph can definitely cover the 3.1 miles, but I think we are probably looking at between 45-60 minutes?? She's handled much longer hikes, but we'll see how she does with a run/walk combo. She has a super cute new running skirt, so that should give her a boost! Not to mention the sparkly nail polish that is like spinach and 'helps you run faster'.
The plan is for Brian, Soph, and Bub to stick together, while Emma takes it at her own pace with me. Em's last 5k was around 35 minutes, give or take, including a face plant....so we will see what she does this time. Hopefully no face plant.
We are going to our fav store, Sports Basement, tomorrow night for a packet pick up party! Plus, 20 % off anything in the store for registered runners, woo hoo!
It's not too late to register if anyone's looking for a hometown 5k this weekend. You don't get many opportunities to run down the middle of Main Street!
