Good Luck on the AthHalf!

This year so many of my clients and friends are running the AthHalf, which is a 13.1 mile race through Athens, Georgia. I've seen how hard some of you have been training and I'm so excited to hear about how everyone does! Good Luck!

For anyone that is interested in spectating, I've put the course map below. Even if you can only cheer for a little bit, it can make a huge difference to a runner who needs some encouragement. Some of the best spots for watching are downtown, Five Points (bonus you can grab a cup of coffee at Jittery Joes), and near the stadium. Anywhere with a purple music note will also be a fun place to watch since you can enjoy live music!

Good luck runners, walkers, and spectators! Get ready to put your training to good use and to have some fun in the process!

Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us! Hebrews 12:1

Families On! Challenge & other local family races

Now that the kids are back in school, I'm missing the summertime when we got to spend most of our days together. Luckily for us, Families On! Challenge hosted a race last  weekend that allowed us to relive some of those summer adventures.

The race theme was "Everything You Can't Do at Home" and included obstacles like a food fight, a paint war, and a giant bubble bath. The kids couldn't wait to get started and get messy! 

What made the event even more fun for the kids was being able to race with some of their friends. We knew in advance that some of our family friends were going to attend, and then we were pleasantly surprised when we saw more friends there too. Lyla especially couldn't stop smiling! 

We ended the race covered in paint, food, and bubbles, and with medals around our necks. Most importantly though were the smiles each of my kids had on their faces when they crossed the finish line. 

I am so blessed to be able to share moments like these with my children, and I love that we continue to be active as a family. The little ones are already asking about the next race we can do as a family, so below you will find a calendar of family friendly races coming up in Athens over the next few months! Let me know if you plan on attending any of them, since as we all know- the more the merrier!
