Our team's practice 5K has been probably the main highlight for many every season. This is the 5th practice 5K I've put together and it's special because it's the one practice of the season that we get to run around the lake. A whole 3.1 miles in the end. I am still making those balloon towers, but they're getting smaller and they are still POPPING within minutes of getting up on the hill. Too windy. And the grass is too dry so when the balloon hits it pops every single balloon :-(
I ended up running with Mary at the end, we had a little 'coming to Jesus' moment. We were by out house and she was complaining I gave her the green light to just go home. I'd bring her bag home later. She thought long and hard about it but decided to press on she wanted to do it. So we start to run a little and walk a little. Eventually she caught up with the group in front of her which motivated her then we came upon Emma's group and that really motivated her. She didn't finish last this time! It was pretty exciting! She has finished last the five other practice runs.
One of my amazing co-coaches took photos at the finish line. So grateful!
Here comes Emma!
I love seeing the girls have so much fun!
