I had this crazy idea in November to do a family Christmas 5k in Spokane. I know I'm totally crazy. Considering their most likely would be snow and really cold temperatures.
To my surprise everyone I talked to said it sounded fun!
So new years eve day a bunch of my family and some extended family got together and we did a sorter than 5k new years run! It was so much fun to see the little kids all excited about doing it. I walked/jogged with my niece Cynthia and nephew Nathan and they kept saying to each other how much fun they were having and that this was an awesome way to have some fun family time!
everyone before the fun run!
Everyone did really good. we only had one small little mishap. When I got back (really close to last) one of my older nieces hadn’t returned yet and she took the longer route with Deric and my brother Jon. I was a little concerned she wasn’t back yet. So Deric took off running with my brother Jon to find her and my sister in law and I took off in the car. After searching for a while Deric found her on the trail we were on. She tried to take the long route and ended up not knowing where to go so she turned around to come back the way she came. She didn’t really realize she was “missing” and freaking everyone out. But what's a family fun run without something going wrong right?
I think this is going to be a new family tradition! It was a lot of fun.
