As part of the San Carlos Hometown Days, the Rotary Club sponsors a 5K / 10K Fun Run each year. I usually forget about it until I’m running for exercise on a Sunday morning and happen to have ~500 “friends” joining me. But this year, we remembered early enough to actually register! I ran the 5K, pushing David in the stroller, while Kate provided encouragement and picture-taking.
Getting ready for our walk to the start of the race
So many people, so many dogs, so much stuff to try to eat!
Some pre-race excitement
At the half way point
Only a few hundred feet from the finish, this was a forced smile!
(Note the family in the background, eating breakfast in their pajamas.)

Our official time was 25:32, taking 6th place in my age division (30-39, ouch!) We were 65th overall, with the majority in front of us being a bunch of teenage cross country runners.
UPDATE: I looked through the rest of the age divisions, and David actually came in 1st place for the 0-2 age group, beating the next best time by almost 3 minutes!
You guys ROCK!!! Way to run!!! Super proud of ya!
