As I'm sure you remember, we lost our friend, Dan Shinozaki, to cancer last February. This year, we dedicated a 5K/10K race to him. He ran the same 5K race with several of us last year. Around 35 of his friends ran or walked in the race. It was a rainy and dreary day, but we gave it our best. All of the pictures were taken by Alex. She's an excellent photographer and devoted her day to taking lots of shots so we can all remember this celebration.
This picture is of part of the group before the race. It rained on us the entire time. Aren't the shirts great? It was so neat to be a part of such a special event. I wish Dan could have been there, too.
Who are these goobers? Travis and Ryan both ran the 10K race in their wacky Vibram Five Fingers.
I believe Travis finished in around 44 minutes. I finished in 64 min. and 41 seconds. Not a record-breaker, but I'm pleased with the result. I was also the only girl who ran it from our group. Maybe I'll try to break 60 min. next time. But, probably not.
This picture is from the night before the race. We hosted a "carb dinner," which was really just an excuse to get together and pork out. We had a great time together. And, I'm excited to say that all of the couples at this table will be in the United States of America as of July. Yessss!!!
