I run in the mornings about 1.5 miles, but Blu hasn't run (aside from soccer) in forever, so I made him stay with me the whole race!
On the bus - nervous! (Caedmon's face!!)
Me & my girlie ready to run!
Pinning on Caedmon's number - he was so nervous! His mama was too!
The "before" shot! (We took Grades 5-7, plus Staci, Debbie, Teacher Melvin, and Mama Yolantah's son Josh.)
Stretch....
Our 3 oldest girls (Sisi, Machila, & Cynthia) were ready!
Caed & Misheck at the starting line!
Ben & Muchoni ready to go!
Cambree & Laurie ready to (ahem) run!
Me & Staci ready to go!
Teacher Melvin stayed toward the front the entire race!
These two ran holding hands (for the 10 meters that they ran)!!
Lots of people at the starting line!
At one point, we came up on our big girls (and Ben) and hung with them most of the rest of the race!
Run girls run!
At one point, these two found a random guy and gave him money and asked him to go into a shop and buy them water and gum!! We finally found them at the end with the bicyclist who brings up the rear of the race!!
Finally at the finish line - it's a sprint!
But they obviously had a blast!!
That one time we had to wait for the cows to cross the road...
Is it ever going to end??!! I was tired!! There were hills, and LOTS of sand, and I am used to running at 5:30am in the dark and cool, so this was tough!
I can see the finish line!! Finished in 34:43 for my first 5k!
Kelitah was so proud to have beaten Teacher Darbi! (She ran the entire 3.2 miles in her socks...)
Deb at the finish line!
Go Staci go! She ran the entire thing without walking! #ididnot
After..I don't think Cambree broke a sweat!
Caedmon did great - ran it in around 27 minutes!
Door prize time, and Cambree wins!
She was SO excited!
Debbie won too but couldn't get up to accept it!
Laurie won a prize too!
And Staci!
The "after" shot - we did it!!
And in other random happenings this past week - the New Day kids did a ballet...pretty sure this is the last time Justin will be in tights and a tutu!!!
Caedmon built a BIG fire for our Sunday evening campfire with our team!
He spends a lot of his free time drawing!
These two having a lazy evening on their iPads!
I found this old picture of me when I was 8 and realized how much Caedmon does look like me!
Laston going for a spin!
Mama Loveness with her hands full!
Priscilla came to visit with Baby Buumi!
Our kids came in from the 5k and went to sleep at 7pm!! A Math Field trip tomorrow for Grades 5-7 to the bank in Choma to see how it works - fun fun!
