Eventful Saturday in Kansas






We started this rainy morning off with a 5k race supporting JAK, just about kids, raising money for abused children. Jaxson and I ran as the rest stood on the sidelines cheering us on.
Jaxson's friends, Seth and Samuel joined us as well. Samuel, who is 8, ran it in 27 minutes and got second place in the elementary age group. Jaxson and Seth got 4th and 5th place, arriving in 29 minutes. They did so great and beat all their old times. They ran the entire time and left mom behind as she had to stop and walk a bit after mile 2. Mom still finished in just over 31 minutes. Bella then finished it off by participating in the fun run. Grace did join in on a little dancing to the "YMCA" dance. It is such a fun, contagious atmosphere, that we all want to train and run together in the next one.
