fun run

Today was the annual Memorial Day Fun Run at the church.  This year they had a 10K, a 5K, a 1-mile run and they added a bike race.  I knew the bike race was 25 miles and a different course then the runners, but I guess Trevor didn’t.  Elise, Max and I had gone ahead of Trevor and the rest of the kids to get checked in.  We were waiting at the start line for them to meet us when the biker race started.   I then saw Trevor walking toward me with only Hunter in the stroller. 

“Where are Kye and Sam?” I asked.

“I sent them with the rest of the bikers.”  Trevor replied.

Oops!  Of course right then the race started for the runners.  Trevor took off running so fast trying to find them.  We weren’t even sure where the bikers went, but we thought they started out on the same path as the runners. 

The race this year was out and back, so as I was running I saw Trevor coming back toward me saying he couldn’t find them.  I continued running the 5K race and when I got back to the church they were all there waiting for me.

It turns out Sam and Kye were following the other bikers but when they were left in the dust and no one was with them Sam said, “Kye this can’t be right.  Let’s go back to the church.”  Good job, Sam!  So they turned around and found their way back to the church and helped themselves to some snow cones.  When Trevor found them they were happy as could be.  The plus side to the story is I think Trevor and I both ran our best 5K’s ever.  I was sad they didn’t have an official clock running to find out my time.
