Sun Run

One of our favorite traditions is running in the Sun Run, a run to support Youth Horizons. They are an organization that serves the fatherless in Wichita. Today, we got up bright and early, only to hear the sound of pouring rain! Fortunately, God stopped the rain just as we got out of the car and headed to the starting line. Chris and I ran the 10K. Here is the start! Because he has not been able to train as much this winter, he graciously volunteered to pace me. (Yes, because his slow is my fast!) He pushed me to keep going much faster than I probably would have gone on my own.
I was excited to finish in 48:08, about 30 seconds faster than my PR. Yay! I had wanted to break 48, but I just couldn't keep up! I placed 4th in my age. Here we are after the 10K and before the 2-mile. The kids were getting excited to get going.
They all ran personal bests! Sydney ran a 16:05, Jackson ran a 15:37, and Raegan ran a 20:45. She even won 1st place in her age division! My dad usually comes to run as well. He thought he was super slow, but he even won 1st in his age as well!
Happy Easter to everyone! We hope you have a sweet time celebrating our Savior's resurrection tomorrow.
