Debbie and I and a host of friends ran in the VA-Highlands 5K fun run this past Saturday. Finished in 34 minutes, and despite my appearance at the finish line, paramedics were not called and I actually felt pretty good.
Ike Hammond, the 10 year old son of one of Debbie's best friends, had never trained and had never run in a race before. Well he and his little brother pushed themselves up to the front of the race at the start of the race and lo and behold Ike finished the race in 24 minutes, finishing in second place in his age group. Just another one of life's humbling experiences.
I did catch the running "bug" and have run both days since the race. Debbie has also caught the "bug" and we now have a dual membership to the Atlanta Track Club and are talking about running the ATC 2008 5k/10K commitment run New Year's Day in Cobb County.
