My First 5k

2 Comments

Two days ago, I ran my first 5k.  I finished in 30 minutes!  My sister got an award because she finished second in her age group.  I was the second eight year old!  It was really cool to  run with my mom and with my friends, Cecelia Pell and Josie Hahn.  I really wish I got a award like my dad and my sister.  Also, it would be really cool if I saw you run the turkey trot.  And that’s my first time running a 5k.

    Eden,

    I am so proud of you. I have linked the results here: http://www.runningmaryland.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6537:102712-st-marks-monster-dash&catid=124:xc-2012&Itemid=378

    Pretty amazing what you accomplished at such a young age. To put in perspective, I was in 8th grade when I ran my first 5k. I did not finish the race. I quit. It was too hard for me. But you finished, and in a very good time, at eight years old. Such heart you have. Oh the places you’ll go.

    Love
    Dad
