Run Reedy Run

A few weekends ago, the fam (Reed, Stafford, Ace and myself) headed north to Oxford for the Run for Hope 5K/Half Marathon that Reed was running in. I may have posted earlier that Reed was going to concentrate on running shorter distances this year in hopes of getting faster. Therefore, Reed decided to do the 5K portion of this particular race. And...HE WON...as in the ENTIRE race! OMG - I was so proud of him! The course was extremely hilly, starting at the Oxford Convention Center and running around the Oxford High School area. His official time was 19 minutes and 58 seconds (whoa!) which put him as the first place finisher. See here for his stats: http://www.racesonline.com/uploads/result/5K%20Cleanup%201.pdf. AMAZING and so proud of my man!

We had a great weekend hanging out with my family (my parents drove down to see the little man) and I was able to get in some quality "Square time" which is always a plus. We lunched at Boure (after a year of waiting to have one, I had 2 of their bloody marys!), shopped and dined at AJAX for dinner. GREAT GREAT weekend capped off with a win!
