Tigard 5K

For the last three years Tigard has been doing a 5k walk/run. It is part of their family week. The walk and run starts at City Hall and ends at our church building.(Good missionary work) Noah for some reason really looks forward to it. This year he really wanted to run it, but John was unsure he could make it all the way, thus the doublestroller . John was right and Noah jumped in and out of the stroller, but still he ran about 1/3 of it (that is more than his mom did). Noah has his mom's competitive side. When he was in the stroller, he was yelling to his dad to run faster, and was often heard saying, "pass him Daddy, pass him." John does great every year, even though he never runs, and has to push the kids. This year he took third in this age group. Way to represent honey! This is our awesome Bishop, whom we love. He does have one grandchild, but seems to have taken a special liking to ours, especially when John was in the Bishopric. Micah did the best at getting the messiest face. Everyone gets free breakfast at the end. Since I am not a runner, that's what is my motivation to make it "to the church on time!"

Hey I remember when you used to run. Remember the kids track meet in Provo and all those at Davis High when you were about 8. And I wonder how you can be a competitive spirit if you don't run. Way to keep them on their toes Noah.

Wow! We'll have to call you the Farr Family Runners! You all look pretty good. Noah, one of these days you'll be giving your Dad a run for his money. I guess this is why you are all so skinny. Keep it up!!!
