Arbor Dash 2018

Finn ran a 1K Fun Run and did well.  This is a pictures of the 5-7 year olds.

Here comes Finn!!

The boys and their buddies getting ready to run!

Liam won his age group of 9-11 years with a time of 22:50!!  Super speedy!

Aiden won third place in his age group with a time of 28:42.  This was a big improvement from last year for Aiden.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Third place on the left and second place in middle, Liam won FIRST!

The boys did a 5K over the weekend and had a great time.  This is the second time we have done this race and we improved our times this year!  Its an easy race to run because its local and relatively small, but they have some fun prizes and things that the boys enjoy.  The proceeds from the race go towards the Early Childhood and Family Education Center.

Liam was particularly speedy!  He ran a 22:50 5K which is around a 7 minute and 30 second pace.  Not bad at all considering he did no training for the race.  He is in decent shape from playing hockey and other sports, but he doesn't do any running on a regular basis.  John ran the race with him and said he felt Liam could have pushed even a bit harder.  Liam finished first place in his 9-11 year old age group.

Luke also improved his time from last year and finished in 27:32.  Considering Luke isn't built like a runner (like Liam is), this was a great time for him.  He also ran hard and didn't stop to walk like he did last year.

Aiden finished third in his age group and was very excited to beat his time from last year.  Aiden finished in 28:42 which is a big improvement.  He was very tired and a bit sore that night and the following day, but overall it was a fun time!!
