You know what would be fun, in a super-nerd kind of way? Measure your kid's stride length and divide it into yours. Then use that factor to scale-up the distance he ran so you can determine how far the 1/4 mile "felt" to someone his height. Just a thought. You could even go as far as to quantify an adjusted minute/mile pace for him, however, even though I don't have kids, I'd suspect that quantifying a 5 year old's athletic performance might be a bit unhealthy.
