The boys did great. Landon started with the runners with dogs a few minutes behind us but had no problem catching me. Grayson took off and maintained his pace with minimal stops. I was glad that he took his Olaf head off as the trail has lots of roots and rocks to negotiate so good vision was needed. Landon was able to pull a first in his age group and Grayson stuck around and won a Kong for Dino in the raffle. The raffles were great with lots of pet oriented prizes. Dogs were definitely the theme. I ran slower than usual and hope to maintain my needed marathon pace but ended up lagging behind by about 30 sec/mile. Hopefully my body can pull it back together in time for next weekends 5K/10K combo! Let's just get that foot healed! |
Ran with the boys today. My side of the running was sad. I have a toe that is halfway black so this was my first run since last weekend's Baltimore-athon (I'll post about that race later). This run was untimed and actually closer to 3.5 miles. We run this trail a lot in the middle so I was comfortable sending the boys on to run their own pace. We did dress up and bring Dino for this one. We did a Disney Frozen theme and represented Anna, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf. They started the runners first, then the runners with dogs, and finished with the walkers. Can you find Olaf and Anna in the picture below?
