First 5k!

While I have worked running races for 14 years, I have never participated, until this morning. I finished my first 5k at a little neighborhood run/walk near where I am for school. Pictured along with me is Danielle, who works for Bethel and helps us all get through the program, Brent a Lutheran pastor from Des Moines who is in my co-hort.

Great feeling to finish and not be sore. The time is not really important.

We're glad to hear you are in such great shape and do some fun things at school. Heard you were studying Hebrew last week and doing well.

I didn't know they served beer at 5k,
I better start training!

Great Job and Shalom my Brother!

Having six grandsons at the cottage a week ago and observing them going through volumes of Mountain Dew, I'm sure the contents of Jason's glass is nothing more than Mountain Dew.

I love that Grandma says nothing bad! What a great leap from finishing the race to "you are in such great shape." And you are right Gram, it isn't beer, just bad Gatorade.
