Went to Save the Day 5k for Gage Thompson this morning at Murray Park! It was so fun. We took the whole family. My two oldest were at the water station and I pushed my 2 yr old in a jogger. My 7 and 10 yr old ran with my husband. My kids looked so cute in those cute t-shirts! It was a fun and beautiful place to run. Cami (7) started out with Sydney (10) but slowed way down and Jeff stayed with her till I caught up to them. I stayed in the back with the stroller and it took me a while to catch up cause there were lots of slow people and a small path. I did catch up eventually and Jeff went ahead and Cami stayed with Josie (2) and I. The second loop around we saw a duck floating down the little stream and a mommy duck with her babies that was SO cute! Cami did amazing and ran this entire 5k! I was a little bit ahead of her and I think she was scared to lose me so she just kept running, even up the big hill twice! I let Josie out a little before the finish so she could run through the balloons. 

It was a great event and you did a great job LYSA! Sydney and Cami have never run a 5k and it was just great to get the family out for a good cause. Josie loved it to and Jane said it was fun to be able to see all the runners and pass out water. I haven't talked to Liz cause she's still with you as I'm writing this. Super fun morning for Super hero Gage! Yummy cookies too!

I drove Sydney to tumbling at 123rd and just past the freeway. I drove down to JRP and ran 5 miles. My music died on me( I tried to run this 5 miles fast cause my .6 and 5k time was slow with kids. I also had to get back fast to get Sydney on time. It was really cold this morning at the 5k but warmed up as the sun came out. I changed and ran in capris and short sleeves on the jrp and the temp was perfect. Love being able to run at noon in the Spring! I saw a guy with ski poles and what looked like skates that were long, like a skateboard, but not quite that long. Never seen that before.
