Race 1 Recap: Pumpkin Run

Thanks Sarah, Lisa, and John for running with me!
 
Pumpkin Run 2012
 
Great race for the 12-12-12 kick off! It was a little chilly but that is to be expected in Indiana mid-October. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to kick things off. Just a great way to spend a Saturday morning on a cool, crisp fall day.
 
Sarah! She is the one standing by the pumpkin. I have no idea where the pumpkin came from. Stalker! Why is he holding up the number six? Is it code for something? Is he trying to combine a "Hi" with a "Number One" sign. hmmm?
 
My brother, John, and Lisa. It was so great having them there! I had to edit out the cigarette that was dangling from John's mouth because of the "No Smoking" sign on the tree. He is such a rebel!
Off we go!


This race was to benefit Parkview Whitley County Hospital. We lost our mom to cancer way too soon. Her name was Joyce Marano. She was beautiful and strong.  If she was still alive, she would have been at the race with extra hats and gloves because she wouldn't want anyone to be cold. Oh, and she would have had a hat for me. She was always worried about my ears getting cold--no matter my age. I miss how much she loved me.
 

 
Little Joyce.
 
 
 
My Mom
The bravest person I have ever known.

I don't know how Scout managed to get his eyes to glow but he did it! This is more of a Mumzie (mummy/zombie)! Video coming soon of Scout, my training partner, during one of our training sessions. Pretty funny.
