Matthew is fast. We've known that for a long time. The boy can run. Like I mentioned yesterday, he ran his first race this morning. Since it was his first, I wasn't sure how he'd do. I figured he'd beat his dad.

He finished 58 out of 274 {male} runners. He missed placing 3rd for his age group by 9 seconds, placing 5th instead. He ran the 5K in 24:32.
