Mom's on the run

Today I'm thinking about...
Having a great day
How fun spending time with the family is
Getting a chance to change life's
Better weather

Yesterday the family signed up for the Mother's on the run event. We were blessed with great weather (sunny, no wind, and 60's). This is a far cry from the turbulent weather we've had in Reno this winter and spring. Our family was joined by our good friends the Salas family and my parents for the 5K walking portion of the event. The turn out was incredible, and everyone seemed to be having a great time, sharing stories and helping each other during the walk. I think that I had heard the announcer say that the event had raised $200K dollars for local cancer victims? I would be guessing, but I think that there was upwards of 2000 people at the cancer event?

I was very proud of the family. Lulu made the 3K walk without tiring herself too much (though she took a nap after the walk). My boys, including the 3 year old, walked the whole way and not once did I hear them complaining about being tired, or when we were going to be done? The older boys even wanted to walk the longer 5K portion of the course. What great bonding for the family and a great event for the cancer community. I suggested at the end that we (our family at least) should do this every Sunday after mass? I'm not sure but I think that I was the only one interested in that idea?
