This summer we all made the goal to run the "Raspberry run 5k" at Bear Lake. So we printed out the "couch to 5k" training program and hit the pavement. The kids did great! Carter bless his heart tried his best, but half way through training decided to change his goal, he chose to read his first "Diary of a Wimpy Kid book" instead. He still trained with us but he decided maybe next year on the race. (We were kinda worried about losing him in the mass of runners anyway so we didn't push it) He finished his book 3 days after school started. Yay!!
Saydi ended up running two 5k races. (beating her mother in the pioneer day race)
We found out two weeks before the Raspberry Run that the auditions for the "Gifted Music School" were that same morning, so Bree and I had to drop out of the Race. Abby, Saydi and Dave made it and Abby ended up taking first place in her age group. Sorry no pictures:( Bree ended up with a full scholarship to GMS, so I'm glad we stayed home for that.
I am so proud of the kids for reaching their goals. They woke up early all summer and proved they could do "hard things". They were so encouraging to each other and wanted each other to succeed! What a great summer!
