My Family Running the 2025 'Hot Dash 5K'

A week ago, my boys had a chilly (19 degree) 5K in Minneapolis! They weren't planning to break any speed records as they haven't been running at all, but they were ready to have a good time with their cousins:

Under the Hennepin Ave Bridge!


The Moms (sisters) did it too!

I walked across the Mississippi to the finish line on the other side. The winner finished just over 16:00! Jon (my brother-in-law) and I waited for our crew at the finish. Henry was the first to come through:

Go Henry!


Evie did amazing!


We spotted Wes and Charlie, and then they stopped and decided to finish like THIS!!!
