I ran up towards the mailboxes but before I got there I turned and went part way up Oak street, really steep, and then back down to the house. I didn't push the pace on the way down, but it was up beat average pace for the run was 8:40 with a total time of 49:54. After returning I went and ran the 5K course with Ethan, he wanted to try it and see if he could finish, so we ran down to the start which is about a half a mile from the house. We took it easy on the first mile which is mostly up hill and then once we got up on to canal road Ethan decided to take off and started to pull away. Once we hit the downhill on 100 east he pulled away a little more but then when we made the turn to head back to the pond he slowed down just a bit. On the home stretch he picked it back up again and finished pretty strong, I forgot to reset my watch before we started but I put offical time at between 24:30 and 25:00, I'm pretty sure he wasn't over 25 minutes, total time for that portion was 29:29 and that included the half mile warm up which took about 5 minutes. I forgot to reset my watch;( I'm pretty proud of him and I think with a little training and on a flatter course he could brake 20 minutes for sure... See ya tomorrow.
