Richard Runs 5K

My nephew Richard came to Fresno on Saturday, November 27 to run with his high school cross-country team.  The Ramona High School team raced against the other top schools for the State Championship that day.

Richard finished the 5K (3.1 miles) in 17:28 (Seventeen minutes and twenty-eight seconds).  His average score is a few seconds faster than that, his coach says, but Richard was fighting a cold that day.

Personally, I don't know that I would even be able to run three miles, let alone do it in less than eighteen minutes.  I could carry a backpack that far, though.  *smile*

Can you tell he enjoys this?  He is really good at it, too, so the coach tells me.  You see, Richard is a freshman, and not many freshmen are able to make it onto the Varsity Team.
