Anyone running the 5k race in Mentor this Sunday morning? I'm going to be doing it with my special needs son Xander. He is mostly a sprinter, but has been practicing running a mile. He can do a mile in bout 8 minutes 30 seconds. Not sure how he will do in the race but i told him to just take walk breaks and follow everyone else. I told him to wait for me at the finish line. He is much faster than me, I "run"/jog a mile in just over 16 minutes. Best I can do but I will finish the 5k without any walk breaks. Hope to see some of you there.

Have fun!
I'll be in a class all weekend, otherwise I'd consider making the drive up to say Hi!
A friend of mine will be there doing the race photography, if this is a GCXC Running event (The Garfield Gallop)

A friend of mine will be there doing the race photography, if this is a GCXC Running event (The Garfield Gallop) I met your friend Glenn and we had a nice chat. Xander really surprised me. He's 26, special needs and never ran more than one mile previously. He finished in 28:04! And I managed to finish the race running at my very slow pacem 50:18. It was a beautiful morning.
