Well... I decided to go for it today and run the 3:40 goal.  Foot and ankle held up for most of the race..  Last 5 miles were a challenge to say the least.  I finished almost 3 minutes faster than my goal and did a negative split by over a minute.  Cathy did very well with a 4:10.  Her goal was 4:30.  Elijah (11 yr old) got 5th in his division with 4:21.  We all did exceptional today.  I had a massage later that day... nice! I won it at the expo.

Thanks... You had a excellent time too! Good Job!! The 11 yr old is having fun... He would have been first in his division if he wasn't out smelling the flowers along the way. :) Our 10 yr old wants to run next yr.

That is awesome, I would not even know where to begin with my kids for that kind of a race! My 9 year old loves to run, but a 5k is as far as he has gone. I am going to have him do a 5 miler race in a few weeks and he is excited, but 26.2??? Those are some tough kids! No more smelling the flowers!!
