Six easy miles with 15 year old son James today. James is getting pretty fast as I can no longer beat him in 5k and under for sure. He is a 16:30 5k runner now and can run a sub 4:40 1600m.

Another easy 6 miles with son James. Trying to really enjoy the final days of running outdoors and in the USA. Down to single digit days left in the US and not forced to run on a treadmill.

Went down to Arkansas to visit my mother and grandma. My grandfather passed away and it was my last weekend before I head over to Iraq so it as a good trip and good family time. There happened to be a 5K race in town while we were there so we jumped in. At the start there was one college kid bit other than that it looked like my son James and I would fair pretty well. Sure enough the college kid bolted out at about 5:00 pace. I settled in ata more reasonable pace and was actually in 6th palce for the first 1/2 mile. However by the 1/2mile mark I passed 3 high school age kids and at that point it was just my son James and the college kid in front of me. I went through the 1st mile in 5:21 with my son James about 5 seconds up on me at this point. I tried to close a little on James during mile two but I think he stayed 5-6 seconds in front of me still. Mile 2 was 5:40. At this point James was starting pull away and I was hoping to hang on and run udner 17:30 at least. Third mile was a bit of a struggle mentally but I still hit a 5:44. Finished with an even effort at 17:27. Overall a decent run and a good last weekend in the USA.

Easy 6 miles with James. Just a couple of more days until running freedom is traded for the treadmill in a far awy country.
