Family 5K

Our friends the Collins organized a ward 5K to raise money for a young girl in our ward who has had some SERIOUS health issues recently. It was so much fun and they were able to raise a ton of money. We decided to sport our matching Bjarnason t-shirts.


They asked Clarke to be the Financier (he was also recently called as the Stake Auditor I think it might have gotten leaked that he is a math geek, I don't know by whom... hehehe)


Before (disclaimer, Clarke and I wanted to actually run however we are cheap and our strollers are terrible. Clarke pushed Andrew and Lucy in our 15 year old double stroller- weighing in over 100 pds. I pushed Gracie in our umbrella stroller 25 pds, but way to short. But we still ran...
AFTER!!! Okay this was "KIND-OF" a joke, but I really did feel dead.

The kids ran a 50 yard dash. It was so cute, all the kids took off and dusted little Gracie and Wyatt (both under 2) but those two little ones were determined to cross that finish line...until...they kept running towards each other and CRASH they slammed into each other then onto the asphalt. Little G took the worse of it and ended up with a big "road-rashy goose egg" You can see it on my next post.

Great event, but next time we are not pushing those strollers!
