I ran the corona del mar scenic 5k this morning and the kids ran the 1k. Though it almost didn't work out.

We parked right in the beach parking, immediately hit the restrooms, and then realized that DH had locked the keys in the car. Also in the car was my bib and timing chip, the kids' bibs, my iPod and inhaler, our breakfast, the stroller, and things to entertain the kids while waiting. All we had were the clothes on our backs. DH flagged down one of the police officers who gave him a couple of numbers to call but they were closing access to the parking lot for the race. No one would be able to reach our car until after it was all over.

Luckily they were still doing race registration so I headed to the table to give them my sob story. They were so nice and immediately issued me and the kids new bibs. I was a wee bit worried about running without my inhaler but there was nothing else we could do so I went for it. I finished in 29:09 which was a huge PR for me and I was finally able to go sub 30. The kids did great as well, running the whole 1k.

We didn't end up getting back into our car until 11:00 but there were worst places we could have been stuck. After the race we each got a huge plate of food from Restaurant Row and played on the beach.
