He said that he wanted to start with the front runners, so he did. He kept up with them for the first two miles (5:25 and 5:30, I think), then remembered that he was supposed to take it easy, so he decided "to breathe through my nose and run easy so that's what I did for the rest of it." Sheesh. Next couple of miles were around 6:30 and the last he kicked in at a 7:00 mpm pace. Check out that sub-40 10k time. The four guys who beat him? In the 25-29 age bracket. They thought he was a senior. He got a plaque for being first in his age group, which is now above his bulletin board.
Since I can't do much but haiku lately, the reason being that until this week I've never been able to, here's one for little boy.
Quarter marathon
In 42 minutes flat.
little boy kicks ass.
In other little boy news, he ran the 2 mile at sections yesterday. Although he didn't qualify for state, he ran a PR of 10:25.
Big Boy came along to Madison for the ride and stayed for the running and the festivities. He started off the quarter marathon with his brother and ran a PR 5k of something like 19 minutes. But then, the lack of training and a surfeit of biking ripped the wheels off. He finished just over the hour mark, but still in the top 2/3 of all the men.
No more haiku after this, I promise.
My young chaperon,
Not my brother, but my son.
Please don't buy him beer.
