Running

A couple of Sundays ago, we all participated in the local 2K/8K race, as a part of the Baobei team. We had planned for the girls and I to do the 2K and the guys were going to run the 8K, but Seth had to switch to the earlier 2K because of a time commitment. He ended up coming in third place out of several thousand people! Madelyn, Gwen and I, mostly walking, ended up at least 30 minutes behind this guy. :-) You can see in the picture below that there was no one close behind him, either. Scott caught this photo of Seth on his phone as he was finishing the race. Because the race organizers were a little unprepared for how quickly some participants would finish the 2K, they didn't have the finish line ribbon set up yet when the first two runners came in, and so Seth actually got to break the ribbon. :-)
Scott and Caleb ran the 8K together. At least they started out together... but there was a bit of money on the line, and Caleb was able to pull away from his dad and beat him by 7 or 8 minutes. Scott was happy to have finished the race well, and decided that next year he will train a little more and beat this year's time. :-)
