Frog Level 5K

OH! SO HOT! for the runners of this fast, flat course. Most runners did very well, but most were a little slower than usual due to the heat.

There were frogs everywhere -- even live frogs, for a frog race later on.

At the start of the race - we had several of our team running this one. These are the overall male and female trophies -- very cool! I thought this made a great picture.

Here comes Sherrie (first female overall)! More important than that, she beat her husband by what seemed like a long time (HA!HA! I had to say that just for Don.)

I think Don was more frustrated than tired in this picture. He gave his all trying to beat his wife, but in the end came up a little short. He did, however, beat Brandon which was his second goal.

Brandon came in first in his age group again and had a good race.

This picture is of Noelle just edging out her brother at the finish. It was fun to watch these small races within the race take place. The apples don't fall far from their parents' tree. This time the girls rule in the win column, but I don't know about next time. I think a fire was lit under the feet of these guys.

Alec finished the race in 26:17 and won first in his age group. He was proud of his race!

Caleb's face is much like his dad's face -- he just couldn't catch his sister this time. Better luck next time, Guys! (Although, I don't think that luck has anything to do with it. I think it is more like much hard work). This family of runners is AMAZING!

Lynn comes to the finish much happier than last week. Her time was not where she wanted it to be, but I think she felt better than last week.

Danielle runs along beside Joseph as their Mom looks on. Danielle graciously volunteered to babysit so her Mom could run this one.

A great family of racers -- Sherrie, 1st overall female; Noelle, 2nd overall female.

Brandon shows off his first place trophy.

Alec was soooooo excited to win a trophy in this race.

Alec won 1st and Parker won 2nd in the 10-14 male division.
