5K's and Fun Runs

Justin wanted to run the Mark the Great 5K. It was a benefit race for one of his friends who had passed away unexpectedly. They held the race here in Benjamin and so we made a day of it. The kids raced too and did great for not training at all. You can see Parker in his division- He is a good head taller than the rest of the kids and he was pretty funny about it- When I walked him over to line up- he looked around at all of the little petite girls and said " I am SO gonna win this". I laughed but thought how cocky is my 4 year old?!?




Here is our cute and somewhat sweaty family after all of the races. Parker was pretty excited about his gold medal! and no I didn't run this one- I didn't want to make anyone feel bad when they got beat out by a fat pregnant lady! Next year I won't be so nice... he he

















Sadie and Megan ready to run. They did awesome!











Justin and the kids after his 5K. He has been training and running hard all summer. He is going to run the 10K in Payson next week- what a champ! He had a great time on this race and he even helped one of his friends who had pushed himself to hard walk the rest of the race and cross the finish line. What a good guy!
