Completed the Bellin Run last Saturday, June 11th. As usual, it was a great run and great environment! 18,701 registered runners showed up and that is a great amount of runners.
The night before I couldn't sleep, due to people texting me while I was trying to sleep and it was getting annoying. I woke up at 5:00AM, before sunrise, ate breakfast, took a nice hot shower and stretched. At the last minute my brother Jimmy texted me to pick up my nephew Ken, because he also registered and wanted to run. So I decided to run with Ken and run at his pace. I didn't really care about my time, as long as Ken completed it and had a good time.
The run started out great and I didn't feel no knee pain...yet. Ken did great and almost ran 4 miles non stop! But we had to take a bathroom brake and Ken's feet was hurting. It was funny how he thought it was only 2 miles and kept asking if we were finished yet. He was tired but kept trucking along and much props to him on his first Bellin run. He said it was the most difficult thing he's ever done and he doesn't want to do it again. LOL.
We both finished in 1:12:44 with a 11:43 mile pace. Not bad for a 10 year old!
