Following a rough night of crying and stuffy-nose-breathing, Ari awoke to gear up for her first
5K run. Mosaic partnered with some other churches in the area to support
Mercy Ministries. The run was a short 3.2 miles in a nearby wooded park. It was ALOT more rugged than we expected but it was a gorgeous morning.

Her friends, twins Cullen and Lane, were there too! All three of them were a little uncertain of the crowd of people.

We did NOT train for this run but went into the race with a positive attitude. Support a good cause and enjoy the scenery. We ended up feeling really good and running a lot of the way! (I drank a loaded Vitamin C drink and felt a lot better than I expected after waking with day 3 of a cold).

Ari, obviously enjoying the run, was asleep for the majority of the very bumpy road!

We finished in under 40 minutes which I think is pretty good considering the rough terrain, the lack of training and an under-the-weather participant.
That park is very close by and we plan on making this run more often.
