Crazy 5K Day!

Today we ran the craziest 5K ever. Marci and I were signed up for the 5K, and James and Eric and all 6 kids were doing the 2K. Sounds fun enough.... So we wake up on May 4th and it is snowing. For reals.

This was the view from our front window. :(

The elementary school where the race started.

Luckily my kids are turning into true Alaskans, and didn't even mention the cold and the snow. It didn't even enter their minds that we might not still run the race. So we all bundled up in warm running gear, snow gear, and some Star Wars costumes and headed to the starting line!

I was so glad we did it. The kids had a great time - no whining about the weather at all. And look how proud they are with their medals!

Four pairs of muddy, wet running shoes. Can't get better than that! Love including my family in my favorite hobby!
