Brandon was in a 5K (3.1 miles) on Saturday at his old school for Charity. He ran it in just over 25 minutes and got second in his age group. The boy that one ran it in 21 min and trains for these things. Brandon hasn't had any training, so I though he did great. The weather was horrible! It was spitting rain and mist and freezing cold! Not a great day to be a spectator!
Today he had Track and Field Day at school and was so excited to do a few events. He came in second in one of the events, so he was excited! Last night, just for fun, he wanted to run a couple more miles. He settled for one, though. He had already run a mile in PE that day. He is hooked. I see him in Track and Field or Cross Country in 7th grade. Too bad they don't have more for his age. If you live around here and have any ideas on running for a 10 year old, please let me know.

Have you considered the Staley Striders? I know that homeschool kids are involved in it so it's definitely open to kids. Here's a website for them http://www.race360.com/clubs/profile.asp?cid=20507
Wait... I found a better link! http://www.decatur-parks.org/disc/program_detail.php?id=397
THANKS! I will check that out. I had heard of it, but didn't really know the age levels! Thank you.....
So....the Hamby's are NOT moving back...sigh....they are headed to Lafayette, IN. A real bummer!
Way to go Brandon! He is just so spunky and cute. I think it's awesome that he found an outlet for his abundance of energy. Gosh we miss his scooting all over the cul-de-sac.
