Over the weekend, I ran a 5k with our eight and twelve year old. All in all, we had a blast, and I was very impressed with both of them. For our eight year old, it was his very first race, and he performed admirably.

Last weekend, I ran my second 5k. This came on the heels of my first 5k just 12 days prior (on Memorial Day). This time around, my race report will be relatively short, as there’s much less to report.
Well… My first 5k road race has come and gone. All in all, it went really well. My son and I decided to run together instead of racing, though I suspect he would’ve wiped the floor with me if I had let him. Next time around, we’ll probably race for time.
With my first 5k race just around the corner, I wanted to spend a bit of time talking about what constitutes a “good” 5k time. I now have several test runs under my belt, and have been finishing in roughly 34 minutes. Curious about how that time stacks up against other runners, I did some digging.
After having completed my first (unofficial) 5k run, along with some slightly longer subsequent runs, I just signed up for my first 5k race. The race will be on Monday (Memorial Day) morning at 8AM, and I’ll be running it with my 12 year old son.
