Walk Worthy May 13, 2011

Sure was a hot and humid day for the 2011 running of Walk Worthy. For fun, Mr. Ritzema and Mrs. Thomas told the elementary students that students raising $1000 for the school could put a pie in either of their faces. Actually, Tim and Dana Boyd's two kids raised enough so they could each smash two pies in faces. And, Mr. Ritzema and Mrs. Thomas decided to allow the student in each class who had gotten the largest number of donors to do the pie thing. And, with hot temps and fun attitudes, the whipped cream traveled a bit from person to person. I know Nathan had fun with it :)

Yupper...They did it!

Perfectly good weather for running in the River Bank Run. The senior member of the team put out a great time in his first 5k ever. One of four 64 year old men and nine 64 year old women to run the 5k, out of almost 5000 runners, he did it under 30 minutes, placing him 22nd in the group of 59 men from 60-64.

Congrats to all the guys for a race well done. Mike S met his 'under 2 hours' goal. Eric came in at 2h, 03 minutes. Mike K, inspite of fighting shin splints, came in just over 2h, 18 minutes. Whew! And I got up at 4:30 a.m.
