Running, Part Deux

My oldest three ran a mile race this evening. Here are their times in order of age, oldest to youngest:
8:56
10:45
8:47

Wow, that third child can move fast! I think they all did great! I actually think their times could have been faster, but there was a lot of slow moving at the beginning because of the large number of children racing. The second child was running with a friend and I think that slowed her down even more.

My wife also ran a 5K race and did really well! It was her second run and she came really close to her first time, but she actually went a bit slower to stay with a friend, so she felt like she improved. Interesting that that happened with both my girls tonight. They sacrificed their times for social interaction. My boys and I would never have thought to do something like that.

  1. Want to go running some time? We could have a great conversation while we do it. :) Haha! Love you!

  2. Sure! :) But if I run with you, do I have to run slow so we can talk?

    I ran a mile this morning and barely beat #3's time! I'd better work on that.
