Miles and I raced the Veterans Day 10K. I bundled him up, and we ran about 10K from our home in Brookland to the start of the race near the Lincoln Memorial.

It was a fun day. I finished in 41:20, which is not a bad time considering I had a stroller. Miles loves these races. Along the race, we started in the middle of the pack. It was slow getting out that first mile. I went down on the bicycle and walking path and off the street to give me a clear lane. Miles yelled for me to get back on the road. When I had a chance and a clearing, I got back on the road. For the next 3 miles or so, I kept passing runners. One woman near the second mile marker asked if she could hitch a ride. Others cheered us or said how nice it was and impressive that I could run so fast and push him. I saw DC Road Runner Club mates ahead of us on the turn and behind us. I saw Ray from the House - he did a 1:01. It gave it a good race. And, toward the end of the race, one guy surged as he wasn't going to lose to me. I gave him kudos for that (but really, since I started so far back, my net time is likely better than his).

Miles loved the race. He waved as we approached the finish line at the fans who cheered louder.
