Forrest Spence 5k

The Parish family participated in their first 5k ever, and it couldn't have been for a better cause. This was the 3rd annual running of the Forrest Spence 5k. The Spences are members of our church, and we are amazed at how God has turned their tragic loss into such an inspirational story. You can go to forrestspencefund.com for more information about their organization.

Despite this being almost a church event, it was something we've been looking forward to doing for some time. That is, running in a 5k. I'm no where near ready to run the whole thing, but Jonathan has impressed me so much with his recent lifestyle change of being more active and staying healthy. Needless to say, he did awesome! His goal was to finish the race under 30 minutes, and he did just that with a time of 27 min and 18 sec. I, on the other hand, managed to finish but it was at 46 minutes. Pushing a stroller along the way was pretty difficult, so you have to give me some credit for trying! Maybe one of these days, I can run the whole thing!

Here are a few pictures from the race:
