The Lake Caroline 15K

My uncle, Jay, and I completed the Lake Caroline 15K this weekend.

In case you are wondering that is 9.3 miles.

I am a very slow runner, but my time is improving.

Having the energy to go the distance is more important to me than speed.

God is amazing.

She loves books. She really loves this book. In the book, there is a picture of each Mama animal. The reader matches the baby animals (attached by string) to the Mama animal. The baby animals pieces slip into the bed/nest with the mamas. Very sweet.
