Run For a Child






We did something different with our Labor Day Holiday this year. After church yesterday morning, we drove to Rogers and spent the night at Embassy Suites. Today we participated in "Run for a Child" 5 and 10K. Jerry ran the 10K, I walked/ran the 5K...and we finished within 6 minutes of each other! Remember that he is a runner, I'm just a walker who can run about 50 yards at a time! We each beat our goal by not being the last one on the course! Add eating out, shopping, and stopping at the new Lake Fort Smith State Park on the way home, and you have our very enjoyable and relaxing Labor Day Weekend! Oh--something we've never had to think about before today--when both of us participate in the same event, there's only before and after pictures!
9-5-08 Jerry just found my official results on the web. My time was 44:33, which gives an average pace of 14:32 per mile. Considering no training or walking since early July, that's not too bad!
