5K Complete

Well the 5K is in the record books. I haven't ran since my high school days which is to many years to count. I started training about 8 weeks ago and have accomplished one of my goals. This 5k is dear to our hearts as it's a fundraiser for melanoma cancer which my mother is a survivor of this horrible disease. She has been in remission for 5 yrs and cancer free. HOORAY!! So this truly is a family affair as we've actually walked in years prior. So Remington and I decided to run this year. My run goal was to complete it under 40 mins and I did with a time of 37:13. But Remington broke away from me right at the start and disappeared were not sure of this official time but it's around 25 mins. He came in 3rd for his age division. This was awesome as neither one of us has ever ran this kind of distance. After the run we retreated to moms house and had a wonderful dinner. As most sons will contend eating at moms is like go to heaven..



If you would like to attend this fundraiser next year here's how you can attend http://www.melanomamiles.org/. In the short 5 years of this event we have contributed over 100,000 to Melanoma Research Foundation.

This was the route.
