34th Annual FUN - FOWL - RUN Today

Could we have asked for a more beautiful fall morning to head out for the 2012 FUN FOWL 5K/10K RUN? We don't think it really could have been any better!

We woke up to a lovely 32 degrees, frost on the windows and blue skies. By the time the gun went off, it had warmed up to a balmy 38 degrees.

Tess ran with us and that is always fun. The first time we ran together was back in August when we all ran the Race the Reserve 5K. However, we are pretty sure Tess will even be more excited about runs once her husband gets back home and joins us.

The other young man in the picture is Ed-Paul. After being somewhat coerced into running with us, he conceded and said he would. We were really glad to have him come out and participate with us today, even if we are old.

Below is the fleece hat we got when we registered for the race. Steve doesn't wear hats, and neither does Sherri, but hey, she figured a nice warm fleece hat could come in handy, especially during the cooler months.

Although it was a little tougher to mentally get ready for this race, we both enjoyed it. The best part of running is doing it together!

Here are the official run times:

Ed-Paul Placed 2nd in his age group with a time of 37:24 [12:02/m]
Steve Placed 5th in his age group with a time of 37:24 [12:02/m]

Tess Placed 9th in her age group with a time of 30:41 [9:52/m]
Sherri Placed 8th in her age group with a time of 30:39 [9:51/m]
