Think of the most lopsided contests you can imagine.
-Mike Tyson vs. Michael Spinx
-Michael Jordan vs. Bryon Russell
-Tiger vs. The Field
Now you can add another Goliath to the list:
The Hays Family vs. The Field in the East Millcreek 5K - Triple Jogger Division.
I am usually not one to brag but it wasn't even close. I really don't even remember seeing another competitor anywhere near us. It was as if all of the other triple jogger contestants didn't even show up. Apparently they were too afraid to cross our line of sight. We were that intimidating. To my knowledge there has not ever been a better 5K time posted than the one we posted today - 45:23. It's odd that the two numbers that were our finishing time had the same two numbers that Michael Jordan wore during his dominating basketball career. The parallels are uncanny.
OK. The real story is Jill had already run 10 miles this morning and I was ready to pass out at mile marker 1. She probably could have won the race but her husband and kids were dragging her down. We really did win the triple jogger division and it was no contest. However, we were the only triple jogger to show up.
The kids were real troopers to wake up early and go running with us.
The best part for them were the Otterpops and apples at the end

What a great family activity. Good for your guys!
But I have to ask, what's an otterpop?
No Otterpops in Canada!?!? Otterpops are basically 2 ounces of frozen sugar water in a transparent plastic tube (1 inch by 10 inches). You cut the top off and suck the frozen juice/ice into your mouth. They come in a few different flavors but my favorite is blue. I am sure you guys have something like this - probably just a different name.
