Every year Coach Pete sponsors a scholarship run. He'll donate $5 for every person who beats him in a 5 K race. All the proceeds go to scholarships at BSU. So we woke early this morning, decked ourselves in our ORANGE and BLUE, and took the whole fam damily downtown to beat Coach Pete.
Bob and Pay were DETERMINED to beat him. When the race started, they had no idea where Coach Pete was. They wound through the masses, jumping over bushes, up over curbs, trying desperately to get out in front. A mile and a half into the race they stopped to walk. It was then that they witnessed Coach Pete running right by em'. After that, it was on! They took off, passed him, and never looked back. They entered the stadium, crossed the finish line, and were congratulated and handed an "I Beat Pete" shirt. Just then they heard the roar of the crowd. They looked back, sure enough it was Pete, entering the stadium, finishing just 200 yards behind them.
They barely beat him, but they DID IT....and have the shirts to prove it!
Owen, Avery, and Big Mama.......almost dead last.Needless to say, our shirts were a little different.
I sure did slow em' down.
But, hey, we had A LOT of fun in the process.

Boy was I proud of Miss Payton. At nine years of age she has more drive and determination that her Mama ever has. I feel bad I don't have any pics. of my girl running.
