After last month’s half marathon I
set a goal to run my fastest 5k
at this year’s Cold Winter’s Day 5k in Columbia , SC.
My past month’s goals and training
turned into much more than I ever expected. I was able to share my love of the
sport of running with my family. We
have participated in several 5k road races together over the past couple of
years, but this one was different. My
“I’m not-a-runner” wife, Katie, has been training hard and was actually looking
forward to this race as much as me. Of
course I was pleased when I reached my goal and set a new record, but I was
even more pleased when Katie shaved 3:00 minutes off her previous best
time. It was great to see
her actually enjoy the event and reach her own personal goals. She
might even consider calling herself a "runner" soon.
In addition to my wife’s success,
I got to celebrate my middle son’s achievement of 2nd place in his 10 & under age group,
my youngest son’s exceptional finish and I was able to share the podium with my
neighbor as we took 2nd and 3rd in our age group. I am a proud husband,
dad and neighbor!
Take action, share your passion,
provide support, and create positive change!
