This morning we did the Race for His Glory 5K and 1 mile fun run at Ridgecrest Baptist Church. It was a beautiful day and what better way to start the day than a run. The 5K was a benefit for a young couple in our church...the guy was recently in a motorcycle accident and is now paralyzed and will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. But...what a miracle when you see this young guy push his own wheel chair 3.1 miles and cross that finish line just a couple months after his accident...let's just say there were tears.
Left to Right: Rileigh, Anna Lauren, Emmy, and Avery...they were anxiously waiting for the 5K to end so they could do their 1 mile fun run!
Matt, Cooper and I ran the 5K...let's just say we had one good running partner...LOVE this little man!
All the kids lined up at the start line...let's just say there was LOTS of excitement! Anna Lauren is on the second row kind of in the middle...
And they are off...I don't think Anna Lauren was prepared to be "trampled" by the big kids...BUT...it was fine and once they got on past us she was off to race!
Scoping the crowd for her cheerleaders (Daddy and Cooper)...
Rileigh waving to Mr. Matt and Cooper as she nears the finish line...
Anna Lauren was getting tired at this point...BUT...she knows better than to walk to the finish line. Got to run when everyone is watching!
Mommy checking her time...wow...she did so much better than her last fun run...so proud of her!
Jeremy and Emmy nearing the finish line...
Super proud of these 3 little girls...on the way to the race, Anna Lauren told me she loved Rileigh and Emmy to pieces...so sweet...such precious, precious little girls, and I'm so thankful she has these friends!
They were so proud of their medals...as they should be!
