I chose to co-write this blog with my son, the Lightning Kid, whose exploits you can see on his YouTube Channel.
On Sunday, May 25th, 2025, my mother, father and I went to the Run For Water. My dad and I ran the 5km. Before the race, I pet a lot of dogs. My dad was focused on his phone. We went to the start, but we were at the back of the crowd. We started running and saw my mom on the sidewalk.
After we passed some trees, we took a break because I had a stitch. We did the rest of the 5 kilometers going slowly with walk breaks. I tried to speed walk. It wasn’t too hard and it wasn’t too easy – it was in the middle. We saw a drone in the sky a couple of times.
I sprinted so fast at the finish line that I beat my dad. We got medals at the finish line. I had my picture take with water jugs. After that we went to Table Bistro for brunch.
If you have never run a race like this, you should close your eyes and imagine you are playing soccer and running after the ball, but there is no ball.
