These sweet kids all ran the State Street Mile a few weeks ago. This year we skipped the family race and just had the kids run the 14 and under category. In full disclosure, the Paskin and Fallon families decided the night before that they might do it and arrived to the race about 15 minutes before it started. One time down State Street is enough when you are half awake.
Thatcher hasn't learned the "pace yourself" rule of running a race. He sprinted out as fast as he could and then looked over at me with a worried look.
I was thankful to see Mike and Jack coming right up behind Thatcher as I feared he was about to have a meltdown.
Thatcher was back on track running with Jack by his side.
Last year Samantha was the fastest 6-year-old in the 14 and under category running an 8:14. This year, Samantha was the fastest in her age group again running a 7:20. Proud of our little Thatcher too running a 9:57 for his first time in this category. And actual photo evidence above shows both of our kids finishing a second faster than recorded but I'll hold the correction submission for a race over a mile. ;)
Cheers to the post-race celebration at the Mesa Cafe!
