Javan, Liz and I signed up for the 2nd Annual Run for Africa 5K from Children of the Nations. It was a run to help give money towards education to orphaned children in Africa. The race went well for us as we were proud to be the last group of people to finish! Here's the "rundown" on what happened. That's right...I just made the best pun ever.
It was a fine Saturday morning and everyone was ready to compete fanatically against each other.
.....but Javan and I were determined to win by using our secret weapons known as the headband.
Liz wanted to join us but we warned her that she would have to keep up with us. Javan and I only know how to run swiftly at blazing speeds throughout the course.
Javan was quite impressed with her effort.....
.....and she quickly found a good pace to run along with us.
However, I had to catch my breath after fleeing off in a mad dash and Liz caught up to make sure I was okay.
Then we decided it was too hot to run, so we did the next logical thing...POWER SAUNTER!!!!!
Liz and I were pumped to go on a leisurely walk!
Clearly, we know how to leisurely walk when being pumped up.
Javan expresses his excitement in the form of a Jazz Hands performance dance while Liz follows his lead.
Liz and I know how to make 5K walking look easy.
We were getting close to the finish when Javan and I were enjoying a little bit of guy time, but then Liz came over to girly it all up!
We made it to the finish line and survived the 5K!
Word on the street is that you should drink water at some point after running/walking a 5K. I didn't believe any of that rubbish, but Liz was totally suckered into this myth!
Liz seemed to be a bit glum that the 5K was over, but when I told her she could power walk to the car she was pumped all over again!
Javan and I weren't exactly too thrilled about this idea, so we took a load off for a couple of hours while Liz roamed free throughout land.
And that's the end.
