Legacy Run for Life: Walk, Run or Trot?



My church is hosting their inaugural Legacy Run for Life 5k on March 26, 2011. The money raised from this event to go toward the Alpha Center  a ministry of Sherwood to reach out to women of all ages and from all walks of life, who may be pregnant and are possibly facing difficult decisions. Over the last 10 years it had grown and expanded to help so many women.


I have decided that I am definitely going to participate in this run. I can't decide if I want to try to do my first 5K or should I do the toddler trot so that baby girl can do it with me.  With the toddler trot everyone that finishes gets a shirt and a medal. I wish I could do both but the times of the events overlap.


*sigh* I really don't know what I want to do. I've always wanted to run a 5K. I don't know if I'm really ready for one yet but who knows. I have until March 18th to make a decision


Should I run or walk?

Do the 5k :) You can do it. It only sounds far. It is actually pretty short run. Baby girl can walk with daddi?r

Duh, I can't believe that I did not even think about the fact that she could walk with the hubby.

Run, give yourself the challenge, you can do it. The feeling of accomplishment you get from finishing is priceless. Maybe baby girl can do the trot with dad or a friend?

I love a challenge but I'm scared that I will be disappointed if I don't do very well. I have a tendency to be a *tad* bit competitive.

Have you tried the couch to 5K program? I haven't, but have heard great things about getting anyone ready for a 5K.
Chanel, I am the race director for this run and we have scheduled the races far enough apart so that you can do the 5K and your toddler can also do the Toddler Trot! The 5K is at 9:15, the 1-mile run/walk is at 10:15 and the Toddler Trot follows that. There will not be any overlapping of races as you mentioned here, so you can easily do both the 5K or 1-Mile and still help your Toddler through the toddler trot. if you have any questions, please email me at mikej@sherwoodbaptist.net.

Well, I guess that makes my decision a lot easier. Thank you Mike!

Glad to help, you can also call me at 229-669-4071 if you have any other questions. We'll have bouncy houses for kids and a horse-drawn cart with a pair of 2500 pound Belgian Draft horses giving rides through the pecan grove also.
