Today I ran the Woods Cross Memorial Day 5k with my whole family. I ran with Connor and pushed Jaxine and Evan in a double stroller. Susie ran with Jed and pushed Eliza in a stroller. It was the first time Conner and Jed had ran a 5k. They did great. They ran together for the first mile. Then Jed slow down a bit , but Connor stayed strong. He only walked a little bit after each mile. Connor finished in 37:50, for a sub 12 min mile split and Jed finished in 45:36. It was a fun morning.

Nice! Sounds like a fun family day. And sizzling fast 5K time! (just kidding) But for an eight year old that is pretty awesome.
