6.2 miles

Yep, i kept my promise this morning.

And then some.  Michael and I ran in the Apple Blossom 10K race.

Yes, I actually ran, a bit, more than i would have run in my neighborhood.

Yes, i actually finished.  I even finished within the 90 minute time requirement, with a whole 25 seconds to spare!

I was pretty much the caboose.  Of over 1200 finishers there were only 4 behind me.  But there were hundreds who didn't even try, and many others who started and didn't finish.  I feel pretty good about the effort.  I figure i will start to regret it tomorrow. 

I saw the last of Michael at the starting line.  He finished in just under an hour, (59:06) without any training.  Then he took a shower and headed down to march in the parade.  I took a shower and headed up to take a nap.  Oh, to be young again!

Genna and Nikita did their running last night in the Bloomin' Mile.  nikita was so excited that he was able to run this year.  He was even more excited that he would be running solo - no parents allowed on the track.  He did amazingly well.  He came over the finish line in tears but once he had some water and an apple he was already talking about next year!  He finished in 11:14, not bad for his first mile.  Genna surprised me by finishing in 9:02.  I guess her running with mom just might pay off.
