BAA Unicorn 5K

“Enjoy the moment.”

Unknown

Running or walking the BAA 5K on Saturday was a MUST-DO, without a doubt! I was so excited to join Kurt for the 5k and get my hands on another unicorn.

Kurt is the reason I discovered running. He drafted me to run the 2010 Disney Marathon with him, but he did not know that it would be a life transformation for me. Nor did he know that the registration cost would end up so much more than the charged price, lol.

It took us one hour just to start the race. There were close to 10,000 people lined up, but the wait was worth it every minute, even though we were starting to get cold. It was the most enjoyable 5k I’ve experienced. I had no anxiety, no stress and I was there just to have fun and support my hubby. Unfortunately, his body does not agree with the strenuous effort running demands, so the option is mindful walking.

It truly was the best sightseeing we experienced in Boston. Going through the Back Bay neighborhood, Commonwealth ave, the right on Hereford and the left on Boylston, feeling every step and passing the finish line to go back to the Boston Common was priceless. It will be a moment I will cherish forever. And for the icing on the cake, Kurt decided to run the last few strides to cross the finish line. Running with him, even for a few strides, is a moment I will never forget.
