Race Day

 We joined some friends for another fun morning of racing at the Jiggle Butt Run.  As funny as the name sounds, this race for women and children benefitted Safe Haven of Tarrant County and New Missions in Haiti, and we were happy to run for a good cause.



We even added our own international flair by making signs in different languages.  Sarah is holding one that says "Run!" in Lavuklave.


 Katherine's sign was in English,

but this one is in Solomon Island's Pijin.  It says something like, "The Solomon team is number one!"


We're so thankful for this amazing family and the races we've gotten to enjoy together over the years.

The race finished just in time for the wind and rain to pick up as a cold front began to blow in.  Now, I'm listening to the rain pound and wishing we had rain tanks here to save all of this wonderful water...

Looks like an awesome day!
I love the cheering signs!
I need to get out and start running again friend, but I am wimpy with winter finally seeming to have come at a chilly 10 degrees this morning!

Well done on the race! (LOVE the name ;D )

Enjoy being cozy inside during your cold snap!

An entirely different perspective on rain. We should all be thankful and resourceful.

You run? NOT ME. I admire those who do.. although with the title of your marathon perhaps I'd feel comfortable giving that one a go. :) Also, making it a family event with creative signs and for a good cause is much more appealing. Well done!
