Today I ran a 10k (6.2 mi) in Riverbank. I have never been involved in a race like this for myself. I was thinking to myself all of the things that I have ever heard told to athletes. My favorite is "go straight really fast. If something gets in your way, turn." (Better Off Dead) I was invited to run by a friend in Escalon. I saw a couple of former Escalon High School students in the race too. (Should I feel old?) I didn't know Riverbank had some many rolling hills or even nice homes with big ornate gates. There were runners of all ages. Some had to be younger than 12. On a positive note, I found out that I finished 40th over all! Negative, my right knee really hurts. I can barely walk. I hope I didn't do something to it. Overall I had a lot of fun.
There was a free fun run for all of the kids. Daniel wanted to run against the other 30 plus kids y he got second place! Jerica also did the run y ran the whole way! It was kind of funny to watch Daniel. I think he would have come in first if he didn't have to keep pulling up his shorts every other step!
