Running the Firecracker 10k

I ran the Excelsior 10k Firecracker race this morning. It's a nice run that I haven't done in about five years or so. I remember the last time I ran it one of the sponsors was a dentist; and, he handed our Krispy Kreme donuts at the end of the race.  I had to chuckle at the irony as I wolfed down a couple.

The highlight of today was that I convinced my 14 year old to run the 2 mile race. I'm trying to get him interested in running and this was his first road race.  I'm glad to say he enjoyed it, even though he had to wait about an hour for me to waddle over the finish line. We're going to try to find a 5k which we can run together this summer.

My boys are starting to get to the age where our interests will overlap. I'm looking forward to it.
