Running in the moonlight
This year Emily and I did the untimed 5K walk/run at the Palo Alto Moonlight Run, along with some of her AYSO U10 soccer teammates. We finished the 5K loop in 39:55, in time to watch the 10K runners lining up for the start. It took longer this year than last year, as we started late and got stuck behind a large pack of walkers.
The girls had a lot of fun and want to do it again next year, so I feel pretty good about that.

We finished the 5k loop in 29:20, compared with last year’s 39:55 (got stuck behind the pack of walkers), and 2005’s 36:50. We passed the other runners (mostly other kids with parents) and finished first, well ahead of the pack of walkers. […]
