The Roswell Runner's club puts on a fun run to honor my Mom. It is a benefit to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis on behalf of Liz Mooney. There was a great crowd- not sure how many, but a lot people came out. We had our usual sponsors; Kraft Law Firm, Subway, Dr. Jack & Linda Graham (my aunt and uncle), My dad, Rio Pecos OB-GYN, Roswell Runners Club, Sam's Club & Roswell Recreation Dept. The race includes a full marathon, 1/2 marathon, 5K run & 5K walk. I for SURE didn't participate this year... but after seeing my brother walk the 5K with his cane, maybe I should have! Dad ran the 1/2 marathon, then decided to show off and show how disgusting he was, he ALSO run the 5K. How sick is that!? Way to go dad- you 54 year old soon to be grandpaw! Ryan ran the 5K. My uncle Jim from Louisiana surprised us and drove in for the race and also ran the 5K.
Funny story: Sunday afternoon, Ryan decided to go golfing by himself. He played a couple holes, caught up with a local who was also playing by himself and started playing with him. Then, another guy came from behind and asked to play with Ryan and the local guy. Ryan just stared at him and said, "NO WAY!?" Well, it was my uncle Jim from Louisiana. What are the odds of running into my uncle from Louisiana, in Roswell on the golf course when neither of them knew the other was in town. Ryan had to keep it a secret that uncle Jim was in town though. It was a nice surprise to see him at the race the following morning.
Next year I hope to be running at least the 5K with my little boy in his stroller! Fun stuff!
