Running a 5K

I'm a little behind on my blog; life has been kind of busy. In early May, we went to a family 5K run and I thought I'd better report to the world how it went.

I'd love to tell you my time, but I have no idea what it was. My wife had another commitment, so I had four kids in tow and only one of them wanted to run. The rest of us didn't even finish, but we had a nice talk as we walked.


Child number three, however, has a passion for running and he gave that run 100%. He told me his time was 27:43. That's just under 9 minutes per mile. That may not be a great time for a 20 year old, but I think it's pretty darn good for a kid his age! And it's very possible he would have beaten me if I had run with him.

Ok, good. Now it's documented. I'll have to keep track of that boy's running times. I think he could be a pretty fantastic runner as he gets older.
