This morning I ran a 5K on the St. Olaf College campus which is part of what they call Celebration Weekend (Commencement) - we came to Minnesota yesterday to see my son John graduate tomorrow, and also to enjoy my 30th reunion (as I graduated from St. Olaf on May 27, 1979). Conditions were not conducive to a good time - it had been raining, and the course was all on grass and a few dirt/gravel roads - but at least, thankfully, the rain stopped during the race. So, as opposed to my personal best of 29:14 from May 1, this morning my time was 31:08. But I was just trying to focus on staying upright today, and in that, I succeeded. Christy came, and although she didn't run it, as she had suggested she might, it was wonderful to see her there, cheering me on loudly (WOO, DADDERS!).
Later, Christy's mother sent us this picture which she took immediately after the race.
