5K in moskva

this morning we ran the 5K for the wounded warrior project sponsored by the marines at the US embassy here in moscow. it was chilly and so much fun!

this is a great cause and we were so glad to be a part, and get to do a 5K in moscow!


before the run, strolling along the moscow river...

dan and rachel {pictured above} are moving here in august to work with campus crusade, but are just visiting this time around...and rachel came in SECOND in the race!!!!!


silas pre-race, waiting patiently at the start...


the race runners...tim, me, rachel, dan and justin {justin is our new friend staying with us for a few days as he travels back to the US after being in krasnodar for 10 days...he may be moving there to do sports ministry!}


silas post-race, totally worn out. he did a 2K when he was 12 days old, but this was his first 5K. we're proud of you buddy.


it was so cool to be apart of this, and we had so much fun! we chatted with the marines from the US embassy, met lots of americans and got a great workout...doesn't get much better than that!

That was SUCH a fun day! We were so glad to share it with you guys. Si definately stole the show. It was so great to see all these rough and tumble Marines just get goofy playing peek-a-boo with sweet Silas.

Maybe you guys could fly out for next year's race?

What a great & cold time it was that day. I know that the guy in the Grey Sweatshirt is one cool guy....Thanks again for showing me around Moscow and being such great host.
