10K of Lausanne
They ran like the wind on Saturday afternoon. It was unseasonably warm, so the times were about 90 seconds slower than expected, but they managed the hills and the 10K (6 miles) while some of us just watched, cheered and clapped, snapping off the quick picture or two.
Wife finished in 49:27, 11th out of 169 in her category. It was her first “out-of-the-top-10” finish in a while, but she was competing with younger ladies.
Son 2 cleaned up with a 41:50, finishing 28th out of 226 in his category. I can just run 8K in that same time period. Which means he is that little speck off in the distance…
Congratulations to both of you! May God give you many more kilometers on the road of life.
I hope it’s all downhill from here… Wait, what I meant was…

Are the pathways of running as uneven as the pathways of life?
I salute anyone who can run anywhere for any length of time. I walk, but run? Nuh-uh!

Impresses me a great deal!

Wow…Congrats to your wife and Son 2. To finish the race is an accomplishment in itself, but to do so well is even better.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. There better be something BIG chasing me if I’m going to run for almost an hour. Running was meant to be done in short bursts of 90 feet, base to base.
Don’t forget to slide…

Tell Wife that I now have a new goal for my Memorial Day 10K: 49:26 or bust.
Son 2 has nothing to worry about.
I’ll tell her as she goes trotting by…
