So our church, our AMAZING church that we have found and fallen in love with put on an iRun for Habitat 5k walk/run and we decided to do it as a family.
They also had a fun run for the kids which they participated in. Gina was bummed because she and I were going to do the 5k however since Gabby made her appearance late Gina could not participate and instead had to stay with Gabby at a friends house while the rest of us went.
Well the day of the race we went and picked up Little Miss and she joined us for the weekend (the visit i mentioned early). So Little Miss, C, and TB did the fun run, with some help from yours truly of course, and earned these metals! TB to this day, loves to tell people "I runned" and run she did! At the start she took off running the wrong way, so I had to chase her down (while carrying C) and turn her around, we then ran down to the end where she turned around but the track helpers and came back across the finish line! SHE LOVED IT!
Well because Gina could not do the 5K with me, and I did NOT want to do it alone, I convinced my hubby to join me! He was reluctant but said yes. Well as if doing a 5k you have not trained for was not crazy enough I decided that instead of leaving TB and C with the baby sitter that came along with us, we would take them on the 5k in the stroller! Yes, I am crazy and I am ok with that! So we send Little Miss to the Glow station, oh did i mention it was a Glow Run, where she spent the race throwing glow paint, and we went to the starting line to begin the race!
We took off and it started out great! I felt wonderful and was so happy we were doing it as a family! Well lets just say my idea to push 50 lbs of kids plus the weight of a stroller at night on a dimly lit path, having not trained, wasn't my finest idea but my hubby is wonderful and did LOTS of the pushing!
Well we finished in a little under an hour, which is horrible in race time, but pretty darn amazing when you haven't been training and your pushing kids that weigh over 50 lbs combine! But the great thing is the kids LOVED it, it made my hubby make comments about wanting to get back into shape, and we did it for a great cause!
This was us crossing the finish line!
No, my husband did NOT carry Little Miss the whole way, she jumped on him as we got to the finish line.
It truly was an AMAZING event and the church did a GREAT JOB putting it on! We cannot wait until the run next year, although I do plan to train for that one!
We have been SO blessed to find our church family down here! My hubby has always had issues with going to church, not that he does not beleive but rather the "ive got better things to do, Im not good with people" attitude and he has fallen in LOVE with Infinity! He WILLINGLY goes, he sings and participates, he talks withe people, and I think he looks forward to going! This past Sunday I was feeling horrible and he got the kids up, fed them breakfast, dressed them, and took them all to church by himself so I could rest! It is amazing to know that we both love attending there!
