Well, not 100% sure if he was in 5th grade but he was younger than me. Two families we know lost their teenage children on june 6th to a car wreck. They held a charity 5k on Nov 28th in their honor. I placed 4th in the mens 30-39- the other three dudes were younger than me- 10 years is quite a gap. Anyway- in the first pic, we turned the corner and this young kid just blew by me- I heard my eldest son at the top of the hill just bust out laughing. All I saw were blonde locks and the backs of his feet. It brought a tear to my eye- as you can see me wiping it away in the pic. 
Here I am crossing the finish line a few moments later.
The kid who took first did it in the low 15's- I was somewhere well after that.
That was a rough charity run- the back mile was all up a winding hill and there was a strong headwind coming as well. One of my army buddies saw me and said I should go do the Army 10 miler with him this fall- I'm thinking not.
