Bryce's Race Recap - YMCA Resolution Run

This is a repost from my Wordpress Blog

My first race with my dad felt like I was running a marathon! Except it was only a 5k! After the race my legs hurt like crazy and I felt like I was going to fall down. Also Junior, My dad's friend pointed out that we beat a bunch of people.

I thought that the leaders were going pretty fast and although they couldn't go any faster than the lead bike.



After the race I had a hot chocolate and a water bottle. The hot chocolate was very yummy, and the water bottle cooled me down.

I liked running the race with my dad, overall it was very fun!

YMCA Resolution Run 2011 in Otsiningo Park

Yesterday was the annual YMCA resolution run in Otsiningo Park. This is the first time I have run this race as an adult, but I loved it back in high school. Maybe my memory is off - but I remember it as being on New Years day, not New Years eve day. I have to be honest however, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference to me these days, since my New Years eve is much calmer than it used to be!

This run is always a very relaxed one. No bib numbers or chip timing, just a timing clock to let you know what you finished in - as long as you remember to look up and check! It has runners, walkers and folks doing the run/walk thing. No one is out to break a record, and the smiling laughing and joviality is contagious. I think Bryce was a little nervous going into it - but he had done the distance before. We decided to start with the walk/run rotation to see if that would help him avoid that seemingly inevitable side cramp. Then, after they said to start - he changed his mind and decided we should just run!
