Jr. Bloomsday and Bloomsday

The first weekend in May is a big one in our city. Over 50,000 people come to run a 7.46 mile race called  Bloomsday, the first Sunday of May. But, they have a Jr. Bloomsday race for third and forth graders the previous day. Matt had a blast running that race. I think he ran the mile in something like 5:50. Wow!

Sasquatch came to check out the kids.

And they are off. Matt is in a gray shirt left of center.

There's Matt, gray shirt far left.

He's almost to the finish line. These two ended up tied in the race. Matt was fourth place in third grade boys with a time of 5:53. Matt was sixth place out of all third and fourth grade boys.
