I got a call on Wednesday from my daughter. "Hey, Ava and I are running in her school's 5K this Saturday. Want to join us?" Well, sure.Only, I'm working. And when you own your own business and take the work when you can get it, well, you take it. BUT. This is my grand-daughter and, as a minister who spent forty years putting everyone ahead of his personal family for the church family--well, I decided that when I retired from full time ministry, I would no longer do that. So. The client was very gracious in re-scheduling.
And on Saturday, off to Prairie Village I drove! Kelly, who had been so laid back in Lima, was like a tough mudder personal trainer with Ava. "You can do this!" "Keep those legs moving girlfriend!" "Feel the burn!" "Just a little further!"
I was so proud of both of them! 38 minutes for a 5K for a seven year old is pretty dang good! Can't wait until Ava and Kelly are crossing the finish line with me in some race on my 80th BD.
