Today was the Pittsburgh Great Race!! It's an annual 10k race that goes through a lot of neighborhoods and finishes at the Point in downtown Pittsburgh. Last year, Rick and I ran it together but this year due to no babysitter I couldn't run it with Rick. But not to be deterred, Rick found another running partner and I decided that the kids and I would do the 5k walk.
This was just after the race but it makes such a nice first picture don't you think?
The kids and I not quite awake yet but ready to go!
Minutes before the 5k run and the 5k walk started. The 5k started an hour before the 10k started on the second half of the course.
Getting to the top of the only 'serious' hill we had to walk. Last year when Rick and I ran the race we saw a couple of people pass out on this hill!
Refueling is very important. Between the two of them, Tristyn and Maia consumed 3 bananas, 2 bagels, 2 bottles of water and 2 large cookies.
Here we are after our walk. I'm a little tense because some random guy is taking the picture with my new pink Blackberry that I am very fond of.

We did our 5k under an hour so we had a good bit of time to kill before the 10k runners started coming through the finish line. Plenty of time to work our way up to the fence and snap this picture of Rick!
