Mom's Race

This was taken after the race in our backyard.
This race used to be called the Faith Run so I knew what the course was like but had forgotten how bad it was at the start trying to go from the wide parking lot to a narrow sidewalk. I had to zig zag around a lot of kids. Then at the water station I had a lady in a stroller stop right in front of me to get her water which I almost plowed into her. I love the course and love how it is close to my home so that I don't have to travel very far for the race but will have to remember that with this race you have to put up with a lot of strollers and children running the race who don't know race etiquette. I finished this race with a time of 37:45 which is a PR for me!

You need to start in front of the strollers or someone needs to tell the strollers to go to the back of the pack. It is great that people are out there running with their kids, but they have to be considerate of quicker runners.
