It’s 100 degrees out, why not go for a run?
The base hosts fun runs for various holidays all year long, but we’ve never done them before — mostly because during the summer they are usually at 6am. No thanks. But this 4th of July event was held at 6pm and it had a good looking T-shirt. Besides, what else did we have to do?
A group of the kids’ friends and some parents joined in too.
I was thinking I wouldn’t run because of Camille, but she wanted to run so I signed us both up.
She was really excited and telling everyone how fast she is.
On your mark, get set . . .
GO!
It was a 3k race — 2 laps around the base. The girls ran 1 lap in a little more than 10 minutes. Camille ran almost the entire time and didn’t complain a bit. She loved it.
(I prefer the way YouTube formats the videos, but uploading them directly is faster)
There were over 200 runners (that’s how many tshirts they had and they ran out) and Calvin finished in the top 50.
Caleb is a beast. He finished right behind Calvin and then ran back to find his friends and finish again with them.

Happy 4th to you!
