Vacation 5K Challenge: Results

June 29th, 2008

The morning of the race Calleigh, 4 1/2, and Ella, 3, "ran" the non-competitive Kids dash 1/2 mile. The girls often want to "run" or "stretch" with us but this morning they were having none of it. Both were breaking down and I wound up carrying Ella until the last 100 meters were she got excited. Calleigh did better with Michelle. Still they looked very cute with their oversized Tee-shirts and bib numbers carefully pinned on front.

Four family members ran the Pacific Crest 5K as per the challenge. Here are the Results.

Lucas ran a 32:24. Michelle blew us all away with a 38:43. Beau and Margot speed walked to a 47:15.

Pictures: Use the following bib numbers:

• Michelle: 7180
• Lucas: 7181
• Margot: 7182
• Beau: 7189

I was running back and forth from the last 1/4 mile mark and the finish. In the process I completely missed Michelle's triumphant return vastly exceeding her own prediction of 45 minutes. I feel terrible. She did great!
