AM Laurie and I took Kire out to run the "steps for hope" 5K at Tonaquint. He wanted me to pace him sub-24. I ran 3 at +/-7:30 while we were waitng for the race to start.
then I paced Kire during the race.
1st-7:34
2nd-7:38
3rd-7:04
TT-22:32
This kid is 8 years old and I am pacing him pacing his last mile at 7:00! I am not going to be able to keep up with him in 3-4 years. I am excited to watch him run when he gets a little older and starts training.
I got 3 more in around 7:20 and felt really good. I still have a shin splints on my left leg. I gotta ice and relax this week. |
