Tour de Noank

Yesterday I pushed the kiddos around the Tour de Noank course using the double-wide jogger. My time for the five miles was 42:43 - good for an 8:33 pace and 37th place out of 44 runners. Kinda embarrasing - but hey, I was 3rd in my age group. Seriously - the hills and the 45 pounds of kids were actually very hard. Besides, I'd rather a run a race with the girls in tow - rather than not run it at all. Also, I'm glad I kept things easy since I have the big race Thursday. I'll probably do another easy 4-5 on Monday with the boys from work and then take Tuesday and Wednesday off. Oh, another nice thing about this Saturday morning run - it brings my weekly total up to 20 miles.
