10k, 5k, 2 mile walk

Memorial Weekend started with the family doing a run at Riverfest.  Tennille and Ryan did the 10k, Em, Ay and I did the 5k and Mom and Dad did the 2 mile walk.  Greg and O were the camera crew and cheerleaders.  It was a beautiful morning but then the winds came and the rest of the day was yucky.  I think this was the 1st time in about 7 years that we did not go down and have lunch and walk around and see the booths.  But the run in the morning was great.  Tennille got 2nd in womens and I think she was like 4th or 5th overall.  Ryan got 3rd overall.  Em got 3rd in his age group and ran the 5k in 26:17.  Ay and I were just glad to finish and we finished with a time of 35:30. 

Here is Em at the beginning.  He kept up an awesome pace through the whole thing.

Mom and Dad had a great time in the walk.

Here is Em about 2 miles in.

Tennille about 2 miles in.

O spent the time throwing rocks while he waited for the rest of us.

Pop T pulled off at a rest stop.

Me and Ay about 2 miles in.  This is where Ay looked at me and said "this is harder than I thought it would be".  He was the perfect running buddy for me.

Ryan at the finish line

Almost done

Here's the gang at the end.

Em with his medal.  Good job buddie!
