Fun Run!

As part of the San Carlos Hometown Days, the Rotary Club sponsors a 5K / 10K Fun Run each year.  I usually forget about it until I'm running for exercise on a Sunday morning and happen to have ~500 "friends" joining me.  But this year, we remembered early enough to actually register!  I ran the 5K, pushing David in the stroller, while Kate provided encouragement and picture-taking.

So many people, so many dogs, so much stuff to try to eat!

Only a few hundred feet from the finish, this was a forced smile!

Our official time was 25:32, taking 6^th place in my age division (30-39, ouch!)  We were 65^th overall, with the majority in front of us being a bunch of teenage cross country runners.

UPDATE: I looked through the rest of the age divisions, and David actually came in 1^st place for the 0-2 age group, beating the next best time by almost 3 minutes!
