Run For The Kids race report

Run For The Kids 5K
We weren't sure of the weather this morning as they forcasted rain early. The temp was about 60* and the further North we drove, the darker it got.
This was mrsbill's Son's first 5K, so we were all pretty excited... I ran 12 yesterday and drank some beers while cutting the grass, so I wasn't sure how well I would do. (actually, more than some)
This is a smaller race, so I'm not sure how accurate the Mile markers were.
Mile 1: 7:07 ... This felt good, surprised that I feel OK.
Mile 2: 6:31 ... OK, now I know the mile markers are off. I see my Brother and Nephew out there cheering us on!
Finish: 7:39 ... 21:18 unofficial. Wow! I guess all the training does pay off...
Good enough for a 1st Place finish in the 'old dude' category!!
Some pics from our fun outing today...

Wow! A trophy!

Hi,

Despite goings on the day before, you had a good time and scored a nice win for the "old guys". Congrats! Very cool, running with and being cheered on by other family members. Great pics, too. (I like the one with the bibs in the background). Thanks for the RR.

Great race and trophy Bill!! I've noted the "key learning" and entered it in my journal of "Boomer wisdom".
