Jordan's a Rat - a Fast Rat


Yesterday afternoon, Jordan ran his first 10K race, Fort Wayne's annual River City Rat Race. We didn't go . . . it was cool and windy and damp yesterday . . . but he had a very good race. When it was done, he texted me to say that he had finished first in his age group! Today, when we checked the times online, we found out that, in fact, he was the only runner in the 18-19 age group.
His time was 40 minutes, 33 seconds, which translates into 6:32 pace per mile. So, while he finished both first and last in his age group, he was 34th overall out of over 500 men and was 5th among those under twenty. And came away with a pretty cool medal with a big rat on it.
