So, my son and I ran (my second) 5K last night. (He's eleven)

My goal was to get under 35 minutes.

I nailed it! 26:50!!! Took second in my age group! I got a medal, who would have thought 3 months ago when I started C25K that I would place in my division.

My son also took 2nd in the 11-14 age group and was 5th Overall with a 20:25!!!

    That's incredible. Good for you and good for your son, too! 2nd in his age group is good, but to see that in perspective of 5th overall... I'm impressed!

    This is a great victory on so many levels.

    Some of the fondest memories I have with my son (who's 19 now) are the ones where we traveled together to do half marathons. He knew that was about the only way he'd get a mini vacation with me. We've solved many of the world's problems on our drives/flights to random destinations. We've even been able to solve a few of our own. It's a great way to bond all the while showing him a healthy lifestyle surrounded by positive people.

    Keep it up!
