Benicia 5k

Matt ran his first 5k! His time was 27:11 for an 8:45 mile pace.

He finished in 4th place in his age group (10-11 year-olds) and almost got a medal. He was really disappointed by that.

We trained for about a month before with a run once a week. I hardly call it training, but we did something.

I managed to finish with a 26:47 time for an 8:37 pace. I don't know how I beat Matt. He's actually been running faster than me lately.

It was a great first race together. I might have a new running partner for the future! Great job Matt!
