Bunny Run

Saturday my friend Sarah and I pulled off a run in our town. We are in a group called New Horizons, which is a group of women who do different things to better the community. Well Sarah and I thought putting on a run in Rock Port would be a great fundraiser. There has never been one in our town, so we were not sure how it would turn out. I knew a few ladies who started training and getting excited for it, but had no idea we would have so many people sign up!  Much to our surprise, it did even better than expected! We put alot of work into getting it all together and yesterday was our day! It started out early with all the setting up and ended about 11 when we took it all down! We had over 100 people sign up. There was a 5k, 10k and a 1 mile children's run and the Easter Bunny even participated! Ethan and Hannah did the 5k (3.1 miles) and Sam ran the 10k (6.2 miles). Ethan ran it in 28:03 - faster than I can and Hannah completed it in 35:21 - I am so proud of them and can not believe their drive to take on so much and do well at it! Ethan than went on to run the children's 1 mile run and placed 3rd!

It was so amazing to see so many people out there enjoying themselves. The best part was the people who were so excited they had completed it and want to do more races! I can still remeber the same feeling when I came across my first finish line. This year on July 4th I will cross the same finish line that started it all for me and hopefully beat my time last year, by a lot!! In the end we raised alot of funds for our scholarship program! Mission accomplished!!
