Jason and I ran the Double Decker 10K, but almost missed it!! It's a 7:30 am start time which is relatively early compared to most other races, and to make it to Oxford with children prepared for a festival weekend, well let's just say it's a feat to pull off. We literally parked the car 2 minutes before start time!! But thanks to Aunt Ali, who had our packets waiting for us, we handed off the kids and sprinted to the starting line! That is cutting it a little too close for me!!Jason learned a valuable lesson too, just because your chip is "on your body" doesn't mean it will get scanned at the start and finish. He stashed his in his short's key pocket because of the rush we were in and ran the race, turns out, no "official" time was recorded. So, to all you race runners out there, take time to tie your chip to your shoe laces. We had a fun race but training in the Delta doesn't exactly prepare you for the Oxford hills.
Once again, our #1 fans are always there to cheer us on!! I do have to take a moment to dote on my son who ran his first ever race!! Grayton ran the 1 mile fun run and did very well!! He ran the whole race without stopping!! Uh-oh, before long he'll be outrunning us!!
