Rock and Run

YMCA Rock and Run * June 19, 2010



Last year the kids ran in the Rock and Run 1 mile, but I was still in the "I hate running club", so much to my amazement(and help and support of friend and neighbor Caroline), I've been running quite a bit lately and was very excited to run in the Rock and Run this year! It was an 8k(5 miles) and local bands were set up along the route playing music and keeping us going! It was a lot of fun and our goal was to finish under 50 min, which we did finish in 47:47! Out of 300 people, we placed 134 and 135..not great, but not bad!


Then the kids all ran in the 1 mile! They did great, it was a rough start with Grace and her friend, neighbor Isabelle getting trampled to the ground, but with bloodied knees and elbows, they kept going! This was Isabella's first race without her dad and she did great too! Jaxson the little road runner finished in 7:35 and took 2nd place in the 9-10 year old category and 6th out of 50! Grace finished in 10:33 and Bella in 11:22!



a little stretching...

take off...


We finished off with a swim in the outdoor pool opened to the runners! It was a great morning! We are also very blessed to have such great neighbors to be involved in this with us!!

Oh! We miss your kids! Brock is quite the swimmer. Needless to say he didn't show us those skills when we took him. Hope you guys are enjoying your summer!
