5k

A family that is in our small group from church lost their mom/wife to breast cancer and a son/brother to a rare metobolic disease. The father and daughter decided to have an annual 5k to raise money for research and to provide opportunities for families to create fun memories together. Most of the families that are in our small group participated in the 5k and we all had so much fun running/walking together. 

Our boys did a stellar job and got first and second place in their age catergories, running their first ever 5k in around 30ish minutes. They ran with my good friend, Eryn, who happens to also be a marathoner, and our friend Micah. There were three or four other groups of our friends; parents running with kids that may or may not be theirs, just running together in groups with common ability and pace. Of course that meant I was in the last/slowest group pushing Nolan in our jogging stroller, with Seth and Addie (twin first grade friends) keeping me company. They were totally uninterested in the running aspect and had 100 off the wall things to talk about, including what we would all do with the power of invisibility, wishing we had our bikes, and if Seth possessed the power of healing a stitch in your side by touching said stitch. I had an absolute blast.
