Total of 8.25 miles this morning. I ran 6 miles with Sasha, Jeff and Colby from Sasha's house at about a 7:20 average pace overall. Easy day with tired legs but knee felt ok at least.

Then at 9:30am my son Jared had a school race that they do every year where all of the kids in 1-6th grades have to run a fun run. So about 300+ kids in a 2.25 mile run. It is a pretty hilly course as well. Last year he was 29th overall and 5th for 4th graders. This year he ran a much better race. He finished 7th overall and 3rd for 4th graders. What is amazing is how strong the 4th graders are in comparison to the 5th and 6th graders. A 4th grader took first place overall and then 5th, 7th and 11th overall as well. So 4 of the top 11 were 4th graders. Infront of Jared there was one 6th grader, two 5th graders, two 4th graders, and one 3rd grader. His time was his best time as well. He ran 16:36 for 2.26 miles with an average pace of 7:22 per mile on grass and a hilly course. His splits by quarters were as follows: 1:50 (grass), 1:57 (grass), 2:07(uphill), 2:03(uphill)(7:57 mile), 1:50, 1:38(down), 1:40(down), 1:42(flat)(6:50 mile), 1:44(flat) and then 4 secs to the finish after 2.25 mile mark.
