Then it quickly became the Gateway 5K...
And yesterday we held the "Gateway Fun Run"! The run took place at Tyler State Park, and was one lap around the lake (about 2 miles). I was the photographer for this event, here are a few images from the day:
Romina getting excited for the run...
The runners before the race...
We even had official t-shirts, thanks to an afternoon of tie-dying last weekend and Nicole and Dangyra's hard work. We really didn't see much of them on Saturday...they were in the laundry room spraying on all the Africa patterns.
All the runners returning...
Maryke- jumping for joy at the finish :)
We swam in the lake after the race. Dave tried to teach Maryke and me how to backflip off the dock. I got pretty close, but need more practice. I stood there backwards at the edge, my heels hanging off, and it took so much effort to make my head go backwards behind me. But, I had such an encouraging audience cheering me on I had to at least try! Even the couple who was running the snack shop came out onto their porch for the entertainment.
This week is Basic Safety Training- and early tomorrow we get to practice fire fighting! Today we learned how to put on our gear and use the oxygen masks. Photos will follow soon. Leaving for Guinea next Tuesday!
