2012 Eastman Road Race Review

Well - not much a review from the 10k.

But let me tell you about the youth fun runs, specifically the 4-5 year old's 150 yard dash!

All summer our nephew, Landon, has asked to run with us.  So I figured there's no better race than the Eastman Road Race's Youth Runs.  He'd be running with the 4-5 year old's and doing a 150 yard dash.

So his Dad registered him, and we started training.  He'd run the lamp posts on the local bike path.

He was so excited!

I knew I'd have to pick up my packet for the 10k on Friday night, so picking Landon up from school just made sense.

All plans were in motion, everyone was excited, and then I got sick.  A nasty infection that knocked me out of work for a few days, an antibiotic, and no running.  There was no way I was running through this.  I still had hope on Friday, even though I knew deep down it wasn't happening.  But I knew Landon had to run, he was too excited.  And who am I to let down my cute little nephew!?

When I picked him up he was thrilled!

He'd even gotten the privilege of bringing his class pet home for the weekend; Boomer.  The assignment for the weekend was to feed and care for Boomer, take pictures, and write in his journal about what Boomer did all weekend .

So it came as no surprise when Landon wanted Boomer to run with him.

Here are some pictures and a video, Enjoy!
