yablonski family 5k fun run for...(dot dot dot)

I'm feeling a little tradition savvy so all Christmas break I kept trying to get my family to start an annual 5k run out at our ranch. Nobody really took it seriously so we came up with all kinds of random stuff to run for. For exczema awareness, osteoporosis awareness, vegan awareness, etc... However on December 31st sarah and I decided to actually run it. We were running along the road toward the barn and all of a sudden I thought I heard something rustling behind me. I thought maybe Adam had tried to sneak up on us on his bike and startle us. So I turned around to see what was there and to my surprise there was a herd of 30 longhorns running after us about 20 yards behind. I stopped dead in my tracks in shock and yelled at Sarah to stop to. But the Longhorns kept running toward us. Luckily Sarah was not as freaked out at I was so she started shooing them off and they eventually stopped. Then out of breath and a little scared we both started laughing and had to break from running. But don't worry we finished! So this years 5k run was THE YABLONSKI FAMILY 5K RUN FOR LONGHORN STAMPEDE AWARENESS.





I tried to recreate it the next day but I couldn't get the cows to run after me again...so here is my lame attempt.

...trying to get the cows to follow me

I actually got scared again when the big one started picking up speed....so this is me running for real.



the culprits.
