Unity Park 5 K Run

My middle son competed in a local 5 K run/obstacle course event in town. It had to be postponed but was held on 4th of July at the local park. I couldn't go because my husband wasn't well enough but my daughter went and took photos for me.

Along the run you would have to stop and do push ups, burpees etc. It was a test of endurance.

He was the first adult to come in but he wanted to support other runners. She has photos of him running with others to help them come to the finish line. Such a sweet heart.

Its nice to see that hes not all about the glory but really about enjoying the run and serving the Lord through it.

Here is everyone that participated. 

Those that came in the top for their age groups.

I am so glad she was there to support him. Its neat to see how close they truly are to one another.

Track Season 2016

First Track meet was rough. Zekaryah had been out the week before two days with a stomach bug, so he didn't get much running in and then the week of the meet he was out a few days from giving blood and church. He ran the 800 and the 4 by 4 races.

It was so COLD~~~ He ran so well in the 800, however after the race he collapsed, in that seizure like episode he has. He came to after a couple minutes and then was fine. He ate, felt better and ran the 4 by 4. Their team came in first. The coach said he has never seen anything quite like it or him. I am so thankful he listened to us and let him run. It is scary at times but he knows his body and he had one of his best times, despite the odds.

Track Season 2013

Our younger two are in the middle of their track season. I am so impressed to see how hard they are working. I am also so impressed at open moments like this where part of their team is in prayer before the race. To be young and realize that prayer unites them as a team and strengthens them as individuals warms my heart! This is the only picture I got from their first meet because our camera was having issues. Our daughter beat the record for her school! 9.18 on the... Our son got third place for 8th grade boys on the 1.5 mile. On the one mile that night they both took first place. What a great Valentines Day.

2 Mile Run Both came in 3rd overall, he came in before her and did not know his time, but she knew hers was 13.11. Good run!

On the One Mile Run he got 4th for Boys 8th grade and she came in 2nd for 8th grade girls with a time of 5.53. I might have to start asking the coach for his times since he never hears them. (2/21/13)

(2/27/13) It was SO SO COLD!!! I am thankful that I took the time to pick up some under armor shirts for them Tuesday night. They needed them for the run, when that sun went down it was super cold! They always start the meet with the 2400 m run tonight's results.

He came in 6th for 8th grade boys under 13 min on the 2 mile. She came in 1st for 8th grade girls with a time of 1309, love it!

The second to last race of the night always around 8-9 pm is the 1600 m run the results were

He placed 2nd and she placed 1st. Another great night..
