Most local running events involve a charity in one way or another. The 5k yesterday was no exception; this 5k was sponsored by a local rock band, thank you Red Ball Jets. The proceeds went to a non-profit organization, the Area Agency on Aging (www.aaa5ohio.org). This agency helps area seniors in many ways and I was happy that my entry fee went to them. But this was more than just a good deed, this was fun, it was almost like a party. Since it was a local event we knew many of the participants and many of the volunteers, including the race director who is the unofficial leader of our running group, thanks Bob we appreciate you bringing us these running events. Friends and running, what a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. We even won new metals. My wife Teresa placed second in her age group and set a new PR, I took third in mine, friends Dee and Greg took first in their respective age groups. Teresa’s running partner Tammy also set a new PR. It was a good run.
After the event me, Teresa, Greg and Dee
