My nine year old ran too. He did great. I went back after finishing and ran the last 1/4 mile leg with him. He came in around 43 mins. Really proud of him. His first race ever and he really tried hard. Neither of us actually trained for it through... ops. |
As a word of encouragement... I posted this else where, thought I should share here too.
9 years ago, when my son was born I could not walk to my mail box with out getting winded (talking 15-20 feet, tops). I got fed up with being sick and weak, and made it a point to get healthy so that my son could have a father to play with. TODAY I ran my first 5k race since high school, and took second place for my age group, behind the sicko that took 2 second place over all.
It CAN be done. W00T!
