But be careful about pre-registering on-line. I ended up paying over $8 in extra fees when I ran my first 5K. Filling out the paper form and spending a few cents on a stamp would have been better.

Huge congratulations!! You are inspiring...gotta get myself back out there...the only race I have ever done is the Wharf to Wharf. I would like to try a 5k and see if I can run the whole thing.

I read somewhere that you burn 20% more calories if you push a stroller. But that's not the point. You finished a 5K while pushing a preschooler -- kudos to you!
