It felt really good to be out in the cool and humidity of the spring morning, and made me feel like I may try to get in shape to do some walks or in my wildest dreams maybe a run. That is a long way from a physical possibility at this point, but could be a goal.
This second picture was a tree that I liked, and the third I just liked how the palm tree looked from the bottom looking up. Odd, but kind of neat.
Here is my son's oldest son just after he finished the race.
His youngest son wasn't far behind. His oldest doesn't run but does a lot of outside work and surfing, so he is in good shape, and the youngest amazed me, as he hasn't done a lot of running either, and has fought asthma most of his young life. I was very proud of them. My camera didn't cooperate when my son crossed the finish line, but he did well and was happy with his results. He has run in the past, but had gained weight and just started back running three weeks ago. He has been battling a lot of pain in his legs, but he has kept at it. (sorry, I haven't been able to delete the duplicate picture)
Here's the youngest getting a much needed rest.
More of the real Florida. The sun was still coming up.
These are the Wragg boy's, the oldest boy is DH.
My oldest grandson won this stainless steel mug for winning in his age group. His brother wasn't too far behind, so I think he may have won if they had had a prize for his age group.
All in all it was a very nice day, and I've volunteered to be the official photographer for any future races. I just hope they are all shady and cool like this one. (not likely in the Sunshine State)
We finished off the morning with a nice leisurely breakfast at Cracker Barrel, and then a long visit on their porch.

It looks like good weather for running - did they have to have an early start? I shouldn't imagine it's all that easy to find good running weather where you are, too hot too often perhaps? Are you really contemplating running? That's really brave - I don't think my ankles or knees would stand it. But I am looking forward to doing lots more walking. Well done to your son and grandsons - what handsome boys they all are!
Thanks for sharing the race brings alot of special emories to me and my kids. Your men are very handsome. the weather change has brought alot of people out for their physical changes but I am not ready yet. Hugs, Marie
What a pretty run. Running season is just about over here in Florida. October is a great time to get out and walk. Still, there might be a few more pleasant days before true summer sets in. Run/Walking a 5K is a great goal that almost everyone can achieve.
Good for them! I think they all deserved a prize.
