The sun was out, there was a nice wind, which kept the temperature down, it was a great day for the Golden Heart 5K! This was my second year doing the 5K, but this year Jon and Avery joined me.

| Golden Heart 5K 2012 |
The event was at Benson Park in North Mankato, this was the 3rd annual Golden Heart 5K. I am not sure how many people signed up but it looked like a great turn out. A little before 9 we got ready to head out, the runners who were being timed were in the front, then the runners just running, then bring up the rear were the walkers and strollers and wagons. Having no plans to run any of the 5K we took our place in the back of the pack with the other strollers and wagons. Avery did a really get job, 5K is a really long time to ride in a stroller. We actually didn’t end up doing the entire course, we took a detour with a half mile or so left, to see the Fire Truck and Dirt Movers that had been brought in for the event. Avery was ready for a break from the stroller and we knew it would be hard to walk by the trucks and not stop.
Avery was very happy to be free from the stroller, he sat in the Fire Truck and with a little help from daddy checked out all the dirt equipment.

I think his favorite was the front loader, he sat up in the cab with his daddy with his hands on the steering wheel and “drove” and honked the horn.
