A 5k And I Didn't Even Get To Run!


Robyn and Cole ran a 5k a couple weeks ago as I'm sure many of you already know (Robyn was so excited that she rushed home and sent out an email!). They did very well and were very proud of their performances. Cole was going to stick with Robyn the whole way but after a half mile into the race Robyn could tell she was holding him back. She told him he could go on ahead if he wanted and off he went. He ended up finishing about 10 minutes ahead of her. Robyn beat her time goal by about 5 minutes. Of course they were so happy with how they did that they have the running bug and can't wait to do another and we're all signed up for another one in a couple weeks. Yes, I'm running too because Cole wants to try and go even faster so I'm going to be his pacer. Results to follow.


And while we were waiting for them to finish Kaori and I hung out and played some of the games that they had set up for the kids. Then they brought out the hoola-hoops and that's all she wrote. Kaori picked one up and after she got started she didn't stop. People picked some more up and tried their best but just couldn't get the hang of it. They came and went and came back again and couldn't believe she was still going. They took pictures of the little hoola girl. She ended up going for 26 minutes!
