Tonight was race #2 in this 6 week series of fun runs. The course was 4 miles and was brutal for me. It was very hilly and I honestly wanted to die a couple of times. I brought my 13 year old son (the swimmer) and he beat me. I was closing in on him with about a quarter mile to go and I'm enough of a jerk that I'd have blown right past him to beat him if I could. But he snuck a glance back, saw me, and shifted gears. I didn't close the gap anymore after that. I'm proud of the kid. Not sure what my average pace was, but with the hills I'm sure it was in the high 8's somewhere. Still waiting for the results to come in online.
