It’s a Family Affair

Last year was fun.  My family ran several 5K distance races maintaining a friendly level of competition.   We’d all finish within a few seconds of each other and keep up that rivalry – joking about beating one another the next time.  I encouraged my kids to keep running – all good times…. Those times are over, I no longer have any hopes of crossing the finish line before my two boys and I am sure in another year or two the same will be true for my daughter…. I love it! 

Here are some pictures from the 4th Annual ThunderStorm 5K & Fun Run at Discovery Canyon Campus.  We’ve participated in this race since the inaugural run and really enjoy the course, the camaraderie, and the post run pancakes.  This year, we ran without Daniel because he was participating in a high school cross country meet (but all Mods were running that morning :-)

    I have a picture of Dan finishing at his X country meet. It’s nothing fancy. Just an iPhone pic. I’ll email it to you.

    Good job to the Modisette Family! So fun that you guys all run together. Really wish I could have done the DCC race this year, maybe next!
