Run with Your Nephews

The race was called Run for a Child but I like my name better -- Run with Your Nephews.  This was the best part of the day by far.  After the 10K was over and I had a chance to cool down a bit, I jumped in the last quarter-mile of the 5K so I could finish up with Riley and Devin.  I looked for my sister, Andrea, but missed her. I guess she was running so fast she was just a blur...whooosh.

As for my 10K race, meh. I ran a 3 second PR, with a finish time of 39:53.  I finished 13th/253 overall and 2nd/22 in my age group.

I had some good excuses why I didn't run as fast as I was capable, but after 10 days or so, I have forgotten those excuses.  Something about being sick, or hills, or heat, or something.  Pick one I guess.  Next time I will be more diligent about preparing proper excuses.
