A new PR.....

Each month, Stroller Strides picks a run of the month to do as a group. Some months we have a ton of moms - the Cooper River Bridge Run - and some months noone is interested in spending their Saturday up early running a 5K.

This month our race was the Sullivan's Island 5K. It is a flat route through residential streets on the island, but it was hot. Southern humidity hot. Dead of August hot. In June. But my Stroller Striding mom, Amy, wanted to run and I was happy to join her.

We stretched out and were ready to go! I let Amy set the pace and we clocked 9:17 for the first mile. We ran steady and confident. It was a nice race. But what was even better was that Amy slammed her previous personal record by almost 5 minutes! She finished this 5K in 30:22! Setting a new PR is awesome. Helping a Stroller Stride mom set one is just as awesome as setting one myself. I was so thrilled!
