Message from Your Heart 5K Family Fun Run

A high school student that lives in our community put together a 5K Family Fun Run for the awareness of women's heart disease for her Girl Scout project.  Her parents were worried about the potential of a small turnout but were plesantly surprised when a ton of people came!  It was so well organized and the 3 miles took us around our post.  The girls started on their scooters but Kai collided with a stroller and wiped out and was mentally DONE so she hung out in our stroller and took care of Luke for me (I did make her get out at the end and run the last 50 yards to the finish line!)  And Hailey rode her scooter but then switched to her bike when the course took us past our house! 

Warming up

Decent crowd!

He did GREAT!  Hung out for a bit, slept for a bit, then needed his pacifier for a bit which Big Sister Kai helped with!  And then he went back to sleep as we walked home after the race.

Our first family 5K....Leevi, of course, is traveling again and had to leave the morning of the race. 

 Diana and I walked the 5K together since both of our husbands are out of town this week.  We were very proud of our time considering we were both pushing a double stroller and dealing with the occasional whine and dropped toy!!!!  She and I have been walking in the mornings with 4 kids and 2 dogs while the big kids are in school....we try to get 3 miles in a day if the little ones let us!  It doesn't compare to walking up Makakilo hill though!  :)
