Spokenya Run

Scott and Holly belong to a great church called Life Center. Their church has adopted a town in Kenya and they are trying to help provide a well and ways to have clean water to this town. The church sponsored a 7K run as a fundraiser this morning. We could not have had a more beautiful morning!


Here we are before the race getting our numbers on.


Timing chips on...very important to get those correct times. You never know who might win!


It was a beautiful 4.3 miles for the run. A couple spots along the way were a little hot...the steepest and longest hill happened to be in the sun but they had a water spot waiting for us at the top. Great planning! We ran through some beautiful shady places behind the community college. (I didn't get any pictures during the run. Scott convinced me to leave my camera in the car.)


Holly did great! She pretty much ran the whole thing! She ran it in 44 minutes! You go, girl! She said she only walked a little bit of the hill. We didn't see any one running the hill when we were going up it! Scott did awesome, too! He is a great bike rider but hasn't run a lot. He ran the first mile non-stop with me and then we decided we probably ended up running half of it by the time we were done. Our goal was to finish in about an hour and we finished in 52 minutes. Way to go, Scott!


Our after shots....

Definitely want to do more of these with these two and maybe we can talk Shannon into joining us!
