Link for Life


Our family participated in the Link for Life run at the Sedgwick County Zoo. It was a fundraiser for programs for suicide prevention. Jaxson ran this race last year as his first race ever and since then, we have all competed in more races and we have made quite the improvement in one year. Jaxson's time last year was 35 minutes and didn't know how to pace himself last year, but with his new MP3 player, he did great this year, running in 29 minutes. Sophi beat us all, and this was her first race, finishing in 27 minutes. Grace and I ran together and a few months ago she raced and ran in 41 minutes and this race we finished in 35 minutes! I was really proud of her, she didn't get nearly as angry as she has in the past! Then Isabella won in her age group...and was a head taller then all the other 4 year olds-Jaxson told her she just had to beat the bunny that was leading the race...and she did(you can barely see her in the picture...just behind and ahead of the bunny)! Thanks Derek for coming out and supporting us and watching the little ones, you're a great dad and husband! After you finish P90X, your gonna blow us all out of the water with your running skillz!!
