TEAM413 5k

On August 24, we had our second annual Pulaski County Team413 5k.  The two weeks prior to the race, Pulaski county and the surrounding counties experienced floods of unprecedented size.  The downtown area where the race was to be held had bee flooded the week prior.  Westside Baptist served as a relief station and also suffered flooding.  3 days prior to the race, the City of Waynesville called to tell me that the park where the race was to be held was contaminated and the race could not be held there.  Always aware of the devils attacks, this didn't surprise me.  Although the area looked cleaned up....  On to plan "fix it".  The flower shop and the funeral home in downtown Waynesville agreed to let us use their parking lot to hold the race.  Praise God!  After a quick rerouting of the course, we were set.  The Waynesville Funeral Chapel even let us use their electricity for the microphone and music.  What a great day!!!!  All went better than planned and the race was held.  Here are some of the pictures.  The others can be found on our Pulaski county team 413 gracerunner project facebook page.

                                                          

The Crocker Soccer team "volunteered" (my sons on the team so I had the coach tell them they were volunteering).  Too early in the morning for them.  They were great when I told them that Gramma had bought them donuts!

Sweetie Pie, our mascot, found a friend and supporter of TEAM 413.  She ran the race with my daughter Hope.

Hope posing!

 Kiki came down to help with the race and we had the best time!!!  After the race, we took Kiki to the lake and had a great time.  This weekend was a blessing for sure!  I couldn't ask for better friends.

Praying that we reached someone through all this... planting those seeds.
