David & Daniel after the race

The boys both ran in the Youth 5K (18 years old and younger) race as part of the Sound to Narrows event.  It was Daniel’s second 5K race and David’s first.  It’s also a fairly difficult course because the first half is downhill and the second half is uphill, and it’s a noticeable hill.  We’re learning that these events have a social aspect to them as we ran into many friends and acquaintances there.  It was a lot of fun.  The weather was just right for running – a little on the cool side for spectators.  The boys both got off to a good start and ran great races.  David finished in 20:42 and he was 15th overall (out of 199)!  Daniel beat his personal best by over a minute, finishing in 18:39 and in third place.  These guys continue to amaze us.

One more thing… we went from the race to soccer, where they played for about an hour and a half solid.

We have pictures and video for your enjoyment.
