5K Fun

Mr. 9 started running with me this summer and has surprised me with how much he enjoys it.  He often reminds me before he goes to bed to wake him up to run in the morning.  So last weekend we ran in our first 5K together.  It was on our home turf, actually running much of the route we often run together.  He did a great job, kept a good pace, and made a new friend (another 9 year old who loves computer programming and running and lives in our neighborhood - what are the odds!).  It was great to see what he's accomplished and I really enjoy having a running buddy.
