Knight Trek

Rebekah ran a 5k on Saturday morning. Three miles. In the pouring rain. It was called the Knight Trek...a fun run sponsored by her school. Her gym teacher told the students that anyone who signed up and ran the 5k would get to opt out of all the timed runs for the rest of the year. Rebekah found that to be incentive enough. I wish I could've been there for it....I would've run it with her. Good practice for my own 5k part of the triathlon in two weeks. She ran the three miles in 33 minutes, however, which means I would've been hard pressed to keep up with her!

Can you see Rebekah over there running in her yellow jacket?

What a girl. And in pouring rain too. I'm proud and a little envious...I would have NEVER been able to run 3 miles in 33 minutes. I'm a fast walker, not a runner.

That is very cool, Rebekah! Keep on running - it's an "easy" and very rewarding exercise! Are you going to join the track team at school?
