Jack ran his first 5K this weekend and started our big Homecoming day off right! His goal was to finish the 3+ miles in under 30 minutes...and look at his time! We were so very proud of him and got to cheer him along the route. It was a good surprise to him to see us around the 1.5 mile mark. Will even ran out to give him "fives." He learned a few good race lessons--he let the pack dictate his pace and that was too fast for what he needed for the homestretch, it shouldn't be 90 degrees in October for all these runs and that just because there are pretty girls in front of you, you shouldn't kill yourself to keep up with them! I second that last one :-) His next race will be the 10K Hobbler Gobbler in November.
