Ness and Ben: Classic

Classic

Ben and his dad ran the Layton Classic 10K this morning. Ben had a goal to beat his last 10K time, little did he know the first 3 miles were uphill. He finished 4 seconds slower than the last 10K. Sorry babe. I'm still proud of you for beating Dr. V.
Ben says this is his last race of the year. But we will see about that. He has the running bug.
