Aaron ran his very first 5K on Saturday. This was also the very first time we have ever run together. With three kids to raise we take turns working out. I had no idea how fast he ran 3 miles; only that he could do it without walking.
We chose to run the "5K for the Fold" because it supports a local organization that helps orphans. As you all know, Aaron and I have a huge heart for orphans; and we desire to follow the Lords command to care for them in any way we can.
I was so excited to run with Aaron! I assumed that since he had just started running he would be a lot slower than me. That was irrelevant to me because I was running with him regardless of pace; I would have walked the whole time if he wanted. Time alone with my husband is priceless!
Anyway, back to the race details. When the race started Aaron took off. I was wearing my Garmin and our pace was 8 for the first 1.6 miles! I was shocked! We ended up finishing the race at 29 minutes and some seconds. That is awesome!!! The best part- Aaron wants to do another 5K! WooHoo!
