Running For Those Who Wait!
Yesterday Kurt's whole family was able to participate in an Adoption 5K called "Running For Those Who Wait" at Murray Park. Everyone in the family participated in some way or another by either running or watching the kids while we ran. About three years ago Kurt's sister and her husband were able to adopt three beautiful kids. They went from zero kids, to three kids, all at the same time....and what a blessing they have been to the entire family. It was a cool experience running for something that we know can really touch lives.
I've been running a little more lately and usually run over three miles most days, but at my own pace, and walking for some of it. My goal this race was to beat my time last time, which was 32 minutes. I'm proud to say that I was able to run this 5K in 24 minutes, shaving off a good 8 WHOLE minutes. I was excited...24 minutes means I ran about an 8 minutes mile. It was a big accomplishment for me. Kurt ran it in 23 minutes! For some reason I can never keep up with him at the end. Now I've got to start getting myself ready for a 10K. YIKES. Here is Kurt and I looking so pretty with red faces and no make up after the race.

It was a great run Guys. You guys did great! Thanks for supporting it with us!!
Yeah!! Good job Kara! I am super impressed you beat your last time. Woman.....you are a natural!
That is so cool! My sister is in the process of trying to adopt, and I know so many others who will be as well. Doing a 5K seems like such an accomplishment alone, but knowing that you are doing it for something close to you makes it even better!
That is so awesome you beat your time like that! Your last 5K wasn't even that long ago!
