Look Who is Running Now!

Riding his bike to and from work is no longer enough. Now Don has taken up running.
This is at the Thanksgiving Point 5K just before they started.



This is the half-way mark -- in front of Thanksgiving Point.
Don is on the right, hiding behind the lady in black.


By the way -- these pictures are in order. Did you notice who is ahead?
  

They went around the south side of the main building, along the back,
and back up the north side of the building.
Unfortunately, I neglected to realize the amount of time it would take for them to
arrive at the finish line. I made a pit stop before heading back down and on the way heard them announce that Don had finished. Oops! Fortunately, Kristy got there in time to see him finish.
Four minutes later Jenny and Kelly finished.

And here they are, all done running. Don: 30:53  Jenny and Kelly 34:54 & 34:55
Kelly hesitated just a bit coming in so Jenny finished one second ahead.
And I just took the pictures.

Don came in 7th out of 10 in his age group.
The way Danny put it: "Only ten were tough enough to try."
The first one in his age group ran the 3.1 miles in 20 minutes.
Don felt like he did well enough to sign up for a 1/2 marathon on July 28th.
Danny and Jamie will also be running that one -- 13.1 miles.
Jenny and Kelly think they will do the 5K that day.

Congrats to all you runners. I couldn't do and you amaze me especially Don.

Is that a hearse in the background of the last pic? Just in case, right?

Jamie said...

That is awesome! Good job, everyone.

It actually IS a hearse, but it had a radio station call numbers on it.
