Comments:

The run was fine. I wanted to run the entire run with my son to help him out with pacing. This would be only his 2nd 5k run ever and his pacing is not very good. He is a soccer player, but isn't in the best shape and he typically goes out way to fast and then falters in the middle and end of the run. We kept a pretty steady pace and at the very end I took off and sprinted the last .25 mile or so.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really. Sure I could have run alot faster and pushed more during the race and had a much better time, but let's face it. Running an entire race with my 16 year old son is worth much much more than a PR. :)

Good race for a great cause! Family had fun and I would think we would do this again next year.

Course: The course was very very flat, no hills at all. It was an out and back on one of our main roads that was shut off to traffic. Biggest complaint was the positioning of the water stations. They only had one and it was basically at the turn around. So you only had one shot at water and that was it. Luckily it was a cool day that actually misted and rained a bit before, during and after the run.
