Paulie's 5k

Paulie's second 5k was yesterday morning.  The weather was beautifully overcast and cool for running, if a bit drizzly for a few minutes.  He ran with the Go Far club from his school, which is an after-school running club he attends twice per week.


He was thrilled to have his brothers on hand to cheer for him!


Paul, Philip and Finn goofed off on the nearby benches
while we waited for Paulie to near the end of the course.


Crossing the finish line!  His last 5k, he earned a time of 32 minutes so his goal for this race was under 30 minutes. He finished in 27:56.65 giving him an overall pace of  9:01 per mile!  We were so proud of him!


Great job, Paulie!!!

  4. Joy, I see you're a fellow Harry Connick Jr. fan....have you ever seen him in concert? Geez, I've seen him 4 times, little obsessive I am! ;) I just LOVE him!

  5. Lisa, I'm a huge Harry fan. I've seen him 7 times in and around NC. Yeah, I'm just a bit obsessive too. My best friend from high school/college loved him as well. We once saw him in Raleigh, then drove the next day to Asheville (4+ hours) to see him again. LOL
