Think Pink 5k

Melody, Bethany Waters, Rebecca Walker, Keri Romine


I was honored when these women asked me to join their team at this event. Bethany is battling Stage II Breast Cancer, and we neighborhood women are rallying to show her our love and support. Her faith and optimism is truly inspiring, and spending the morning with these uplifting ladies is something I won't forget. The turn out was small at the race, so we were mostly on our own throughout the three miles. My phone provided some tunes (90s playlist. Why not!?) and we sang, laughed, and enjoyed getting to know one another better. This race was also, in my part, in honor of Kiera. She is doing amazingly well. We're so grateful her organs are now cancer-free, and she is now undergoing treatments to stop any possible spreading. I'm in awe of these strong women who are fighting this unfair battle. You've got this, Girls!

Eagle Mountain Turkey Trot

Jonny, Melody



I'm writing this months later! So of course the race times have been long forgotten. Despite the course being a there-and-back, we enjoyed the race and will likely hit it up next year. It wasn't too crazy cold, and it had been years since we did a Thanksgiving race. We loved starting the day with a good run. Julia watched the kids at home and we were happy to see friend Tony Fonseca make it to the race.
