All the kids were worn out after the race!

This is our 4th year doing the Basic 5 Fun Run! They have a kids 1 mile race, and the kids all love to run this! We woke up Saturday morning and it was "Blizzard like" conditions outside. The snow was coming down sideways! "Uh oh" was my first thought.....then I decided that we would run snow or shine! (and when I say we, I mean them)

By the time we got to the race, the snow had stopped and the sun was starting to shine! It was still chuggin cold, but we bundled up the kids and told them to run fast!

Tren got 2nd place last year and really wanted to win this year. He got 2nd again! The boy who beat him was the same one who won last year! He is 14, and a great runner. We were so proud of Tren for coming in 2nd in the whole race!!! His time was 7 min. 12 sec. Not bad for a 10 yr. old!!!

The other kids did great too. Ryann ran with Bailey, and Cooper was not too far behind them. Mark ran to make sure no-one got lost.(what a good daddy)! A little boy in our ward ran for the first time, so Mark was the designated "in charge" for the little ones.

It was a great day! The kids all feel so proud of themselves for accomplishing this feat of running a mile! I love it that they are getting exercise and learning to love being active!
