Our stake hosted a “Value 5K Chalk Run” for all the young women in our stake. Each pit stop had water and a different color of chalk representing a different value (There are a total of eight values). I thought it was a really neat idea so I signed us up. They allowed all girls ages 8 and up to attend so I had Claire and Katelyn join us as well.
My girls didn’t shy away from the chalk. We ended up with mouthfuls of chalk and shirts that were every color of the rainbow. More impressively was that all of the girls ran nearly all of the 5K. Even Claire who hadn’t run in months went out there and ran nearly all of it. I was so proud of each of them for giving it a try and doing their best. The Johnson family may have a little competitive streak running through their bones so just running for fun isn’t something we do very often. Even Megan with her fractured arm broke away the last mile and finished strong while I stayed back with Katelyn and Claire.
The event concluded with breakfast and a message from President Anderson. It was a great experience. I am a big fan of anything that encourages exercise, values and time together.
