Do It For Ben 5k

Saturday I ran in a 5k with one of our students, Madison.



She attends Fayette Academy where several of our students attend. There was a tragic accident involving a 6th grade student at Fayette Academy named Ben. We did not know him personally but from what we heard he had a great impact on people even from an early age and this 5k was a way of honoring his life. His whole family was there racing along with a couple hundred friends, classmates, teachers, coaches, and people from the community. It was obvious that Ben's life had touched many people.

It was a beautiful morning for running. The course they drew up for us was also enjoyable. It took us along the Fayette Academy property, down Hwy 64, through a beautiful neighborhood, through the woods, and back to the football field where we began. Here's a before picture. Tyler who was a former FA student and is one of our college guys also ran. He is actually the marathon runner friend who helped inspire my running.

Here's us before:



And now a little sweatier afterwards:



This was Madison's first 5k. She was hoping to finish around 30 minutes and we crossed the finish line at 28:30 minutes. She also got first place in her age division. I was so proud of her!

And our little cheerleader.
