Happy Memorial Day.

 I ran the Woods Cross Memorial Day 5K today with my wife and our two youngest kids, Jaxine and Evan. Okay, the kids didn't run, they hitched a ride in the double stroller that I was pushing. This race is a fun one to run because it is free. There are no offical times or awards, everybody just runs. There were a lot of people out for the run today which made the course very congested at times, weaving and bobbing is challenge with a stroller.. We maintained a steady pace and were hoping to break 30 again like we did in Florida, but came in just shy of that at 30:33. The kids thought is was great fun and can't wait to do it again.
