Run for Fun

Last Saturday Mandy invited us to participate in her stake fun run.  Well it was rescheduled from January due to a rain out. Originally Mandy and I were just going to run but I asked the kids if they wanted to run Max and Lilly said yes.  When Saturday morning came Luke and Kevin were already up so we all went.  I was a little confused about start times.  The competitive run was at 7 and the family fun run was at 7:30.  Well we saw the competitive runners start the race and then they were waving us through to start behind them. So we did.  After a few feet Kevin picked up Luke and put him on his shoulders.   He ran the whole 5k like that with Luke on his shoulders.

Lilly and Max did great and ran walked 2 1/2 miles because that was the distance of the fun run.  When we finished We saw the McHenry's and they were about to start the Fun Run so Lilly wanted to run with Maggie and she ran another loop so here total mileage was a 5k.  Here are the girls coming in at the finish line.

Kevin let Luke down for the end of the race so he could cross the finish line.  Kevin said Luke was telling him to go faster and to pass the people when he was on his shoulders.  Then when they would pass someone he would wave.  Funny kid.

It was so fun to have all of us there running.  The kids are already talking about their next race.

Come Sunday morning Lilly's legs were really sore.  She could hardly walk.  Now she knows that it might help to run a few times before another race.
