La Canada Thanksgiving Day 5K

We did our first family walk/run together this morning.  It was an out-and-back course, and the first mile was mostly uphill and the last mile was mostly downhill.  I split 8:51, 8:26, and 7:33, and my official time was 25:36.  I placed 6th in my age group and 692nd overall.  My brother went 25:56, Cliff went 37:22, mom went 49:38, and Esther went 57:00.  It was a close call with my brother 20 seconds behind me... I had no idea.  I duked it out with a 9 year-old girl during quite a bit of the race and she ended up beating me by 5 seconds.  At least she was limping after and looked like she gave it a good fight.
