Like Father Like Son









Have you ever seen a kid more like his dad? Ian and I did a 5K last weekend. Ian ran a PR of 24:30 (8 minute mile average), 2 minutes faster than his previous best 5K, and got second place in the 14 and under division. I ran it in 18:38, a new PR, and second place over all. Jill did not run, but she won two raffle prizes, a smelly candle and a big basket full of her favorite Camille Beckman lotion.

  1. I am pretty sure that Ian is winning in that photo

  2. That looks like a really pathetic 5k. From what I see, anything other than 2nd place for John whould have been an embarassment to the Ashby name.

    Still a pretty fast 5k for both of you.

  3. I thought the pictures were very sweet. It's an honor to have your son want to be just like his day.

  4. Looks like Ian is becoming a great runner. I wonder when he will start beating his dad.

  5. He did beat John a couple of months ago but that was because John got lost.
