Last Saturday 9-year-old Mack ran a mile race and took second overall for kids 12 and under. Exactly 30 minutes after finishing the mile, he ran a 5K finishing fourth in his age group.
There were 500 runners altogether in the two races.
(Mack’s brother Aidan won the mile for boys 6 and under. Their cousin Kiley took second among girls 7-8. Aidan and Kiley declined to also run the 5K.)
From the runs Mack went to a chess tournament. He had a draw and a loss before having to leave early (his brother Reid had a playground accident resulting in a dislocated shoulder).
Later in the afternoon Mack played a half of soccer.
Sunday’s football game was rained out.

Obviously, I should have worked a haircut in there somewhere.
What a truly amazing kid! Jill, you must be one heck of a great mom!!
