The “Leap of DOOM!” ~Lake McMurtry

My oldest girl and Nick ran in the Lake McMurtry run last month!
This was the only hike I went on. Some camping trips are not as great as others. This place is beautiful it just ended up being a harder trip.

These signs were fun though from the race! She listened to the signs and thought it was too big of a jump. They always make a big deal of this jump. The hype get’s bigger every year. “I’m a camera!” Cutest camera ever! I guess I went on two hikes technically. Nick dropped me off while we were driving and I walked the rest of the way. Sometimes a peaceful walk is just what I need.

This was our second time camping here.

It is really a beautiful campground!

Maybe next time we can hike more of it!

If you want to see more of our hike (including my littlest’s camera work) check out the video!

Snake Run 2018 ~Turkey Mt.

The Snake Run is a 3 & 6hr race in which you try to get as many miles as you can in that time.

Whoever gets the most miles in each one wins.

 


It’s a great event, put on by great people!

My kids really enjoy it!

And I really enjoy that it is held at Turkey Mt.

So I can take the kids that are not running for hikes!

These people make running for 3hrs and 6HRS look like fun!

Crazy.

My two that ran did over 9 miles in 3hrs and acted like they had barely done anything.

Maybe we need to buy a treadmill?

They have crazy energy!

A look back at previous Snake Run’s.

Post Oak Challenge 10k ~Nick&”B”

Nick did the 10k with “B” one of our 7yr olds.

Since I had 4 kids this time, I waited and came for the finish instead of getting everyone up and waiting at the race the whole time.

We actually timed it pretty great and were only waiting a little bit.

She loved all the attention she got.

I have decided I am a trail run type mom instead of a soccer mom.

Ha!

Trail runs are in such beautiful locations!

Bring on the next one!

We have two that want to run in the next one already.

Well if you don’t count little bit.

She is pretty upset she is too little.

She keeps saying she is “super fast” and “dinosaur big”…

Looks like we will need to find a 1 miles fun run for her soon.
