5K at Five Stones

Five Stones is a camp sponsored by a local  mission that our church supports and that our Preacher is on the board of.  Here is how their website defines them:

Situated on 145+ acres of wooded land in Reelsville, Indiana, Five Stones Camp provides an absolutely FREE residential camping experience to disadvantaged inner-city youth from all over the state of Indiana. The Five Stones program is a rigorous 40-day residential summer program that rescues troubled, low-income teenage boys, ages 13-17, from the negative influences of gangs, drugs, neglect and domestic violence and helps them become responsible, mature and independent young men through spiritual, educational and vocational training.

I think it is such a unique ministry.  This year they had their first 5K "Run the Ravines" to raise money.  So I signed Daddy up.  C & I were thinking of doing it--until we figured out that C had 3 soccer games that weekend.  We wanted to rest his legs.  Due to some confusion, C ended up walking the entire think anyways!  And it was hard!  Up and down some crazy ravines--or so I"m told.  I was back at the finish line watching a friend's baby so mommy could do the run with her girls and hubby.
