Run for Mercy 2011

In May of this year Scott and I decided that we would run the 5K sponsored by our church.  We trained for 4 months and were really excited on the day of the race.  It was the first 5K for both of us.
  


The race also includes a "fun run" for the kids.  Adam had been training using "Kinect Sports" and was very excited. 

The racers ready.

Paige hung out with the kids and Grandma while Scott and I ran.

Me with a group of friends who also ran the race.

There's Scott!

Scott crossing the finish line at 24:30.  Not too shabby for his first 5K.

I have a picture of me crossing the finish line, but I choose not to post it.  Mostly because you can see my time and I like to perpetuate the illusion that I am some sort of athlete.

After the 5K the kids started their fun run.  Adam is in the blue shirt literally elbowing his way to the front.


I think the course was 1/4 mile.  Adam and Jane both ran the entire way.  Adam even fell and scraped his knee pretty badly, but he hopped up and kept going.



It was literally a dream come true for Adam to cross an actual finish line.  They had medals at the end for the kids.



I just want to squeeze her sometimes.

Coming up, the race I ran the following day in NYC...
