Before we went to the Bahamas (see next post) Aisling convinced us to sign up to participate in a 5K run at the Homefront Festival in Richmond. It's not that long, it just seemed like it might be daunting the day after returning from vacation. However, Aisling, Dara, the baby and I all headed over there at 9 (Gordon was sick from being on the plane) and participated. It was fun, a very nice course, and we each made good time, Aisling and I at about 30 minutes, and Dara at about 45, pushing the baby. There weren't that many participants, and it turns out that Dara and I each placed third in our age groups, and Aisling placed first in hers (admittedly she was the only under-13 runner in the 5K). Also, I won a fancy sleeping bag in the raffle, so all in all, we had a great time.
