Someone I Remember, A First Timer, And A Sharing Event

Sharon, along with her daughter Amy,  participated in the fund-raising run/walk.  Amy walked the course.  She actually walked it with a finishing time that beat some of the runners.  Sharon ran the race in approximately the same time as I did.  They live close enough to the event that they were able to go home, shower and come back looking great.  Sharon and I spent a little time running down the list of races we’ve participated in, because with all the races we’ve both gone to, we ‘re pretty sure we’ve seen each other before.    

Jenni was the first person I met as I was getting out of my car when I arrived in Whitman.  She told me that her husband, Josh, was the runner in the family.  However, this was Jenni’s first race ever and I made sure she read the line on my card that reads “Be proud of YOUR talent level”. They both did very well that day and to you Jenni–welcome to our world–proud of you.  

 Derek (1686) ran a faster race then I did, however, I did get to the pint of carb line ahead of him.  Luis (1561) also ran and Jim, well Jim came along to cheer them on and share in the carbo loading after running tradition. 

I’ve got 2 more entries with photos from the great time. check them out and come join us next year.
