My Very 1st 5K Race!

The Annual Beecroft 5k run is held every year on Memorial Day and has reached its 30th consecutive year.   This year I wanted to participate in it.  Running in a 5K race was something that I wanted to accomplish for my self.  Kathy decided that she would also run in the race.

We decided to go as a family and we even took Charlie with us.  Keith walked with Charlie along side the bike path that is used for the course.  But Charlie didn't like the fact that Kathy was running off with out him and he eventually got away from Keith and ran along the course path until he found Kathy.  Charlie then ran alongside Kathy, escorting her through to the finish line.

My time was 39 minutes and 15 seconds, finishing 127th out of 202 participants, (12th in my age group). Kathy finished in 42 minutes and was 4th in her age group.
