5K...

What a fun day! Without going into too much detail today's run was a memorial run for my brother's fiance's BIL, Marty! (are you with me?) He died suddenly last summer @ 41 years old, leaving a wife and four children, ages 1-10...heartbreaking. Incidentally, Marty went to high school with my brother, I went to college with Marty, and MBM knew Marty, as they worked in the same field. Marty knew everybody...Everybody! He coached his kids, was active in their school and church, did the "Dad Dance" at his girls dance recitals, was involved in both his high school and college alumni. Are you getting a clear picture of the kind of guy he was? Today, his wife said that Marty loved more than anything being with his family and friends. Today was all about family and friends...I don't know the final turn out...they ran out of t-shirts, 750 t-shirts were order! I ran into friends from high school, college, my hometown and I spent the day with all the people I love most! Along with the 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk the were all sorts of food, drinks, games for the kids, face painting, and an Irish band! It was a GREAT day! Oh, and I finished the 5K in a reasonable time and I wasn't last! Enjoy the pictures! Emma finishing the 1 Mile Fun Run...Mimi (my MIL) and Uncle Gerry (my brother) cheering her on! Bridget (Marty's Daughter) and Emma Lulu, looking sporty and loving all the snacks! Emma, Me, and Mimi...my MIL won 1st Place for her age bracket! The Three Amigos!
