Ran in Crews Lake park, doing 2.16 miles before the cross country meet, and then a little over 8 miles after the meet. Original plan was to run more miles before the meet but there was some unexpected traffic due to an accident. We were still early, just not as early. On the second half of my run I got to see more of the park than I have, running as best I could the cross country route. They have a mini-railroad here with a track that is 1 foot wide. I didn't see any of the trains but I heard they are big enough to ride on.
Tom's Grandma Cindy from Texas was at the meet and Andy rode over with me. The Mitchell Team took first place with Tom running 17:18 (14 seconds faster than last week) which was a course record for him. He was third place for the team with Jordan sneaking by him in the home stretch and Jarod coming in about 9 seconds ahead of him (much smaller gap than last week). Proud of Thomas and the team.
3 years ago, both Andy and Thomas ran in this meet and Grandpa Tom was also here. They always have a DJ at this meet, so it's a pretty fun atmosphere. I'll miss coming here next year.
