Written by Owen:

This is a fun little race we try to do each year.  It's held within a couple of miles of Malissa's dad's house in Salisbury, NC.

Only Michael ran it this year.  I had my Nebraska marathon in two days, so I didn't run it.

This was only six days after Michael's last 5k.  His finishing time was within two seconds of that race.  He is incredibly consistent.  As great as his times have been, now that we've started his half-marathon training, I suspect his times will get even faster.

After the race, waiting for the award ceremony.

Michael took first place in his division

Here's our video of the event.  It started just before sunset, so by the time we saw Michael again it was too dark for good video:

Alicia's friend, Claire, had spent the night with us Friday night, so she came along and watched Michael race.

This part written by Owen:

This race was the last race in Run For Your Life's GPX Series.  Michael is in the very tough "19 & Under" division.  He entered this race in first place in his division and locked in that result with a great finish.

He hadn't trained very much this summer, but his 5k times are still excellent.  I can't wait to see how much he improves this year during track season, and now that he's training for the Thunder Road Half-Marathon.
