Anna's first race

Here are some of the Dads before the race. Jaime, the guy in the middle actually ran the race with his youngest daughter. Good job!

Here are some of the Spartan girls before the race.

And... they're off!

John and Claire are cheering for the Spartans!

Here is Anna coming in to the finish line.

Anna really enjoys being on the Spartan team. She is motivated to be more physically fit and is developing some discipline that will carry over into other areas. I pray that as she learns endurance and perseverence in her running that she will develop the same in her spiritual race-

that she will be disciplined to keep going even when she doesn't feel like moving on, that she will endure when the way is tough and that she will never give up in running to Christ who is the prize for which we should all be striving!
