David's First Trail Race!

This evening, David ran his first trail race. a 5K at Irvine Regional Park in Orange.  Another friend from church, Patrick, also came out for his first trail race, too!  Despite the loose sand and big rocks, these guys still had smiles on their faces at the end!  I'm guessing they're even ready to sign up for the next one!  Below are a few pictures from the evening!

Although David did not finish quite as fast as he hoped, coming in at 22:50, he still managed to place second in his age group (35-44) and 10th overall!  Not too shabby a performance for his first trail race!

David's ready to run!

So is Patrick!

Mary asked me to take her picture.

Twice.

Make that three times.

Maggie asked me to take her picture.

Twice.

Make that three times!

Jonathan made no such request!

Neither did Matthew!

Or Josiah, but who could resist his smile!

Pretty impressive when your kids occupy every swing except one on the swingset!

Congratulations, David and Patrick!  You made it!!
