Run, Forrest, Run!

I can’t believe I placed in the top ten in the 32nd Annual Reedy River Run.  I can’t believe it because it isn’t true.  We Wallers stayed near the back of the pack.

The.  Whole.  Time.

Nostrils flared, Waller moves into 4000th place.

This was my first sojourn into the organized world of fitness.  It was my wife’s second time out.   This year we entered as a family of four.  That’s me, my wife and two teenage daughters.

It was a great time out for the entire family, and gave us all a much-needed workout.   Who knew I’d run into one of my co-workers here?   Below is Janice Limon, executive producer at WYFF-TV, and her husband Tony.

For those who spent the day under a rock, Saturday’s weather was perfect!   High temps were in the low to mid-70s.   Not bad for a March morning, and not bad considering it snowed here just a week ago.

The finish line.

4000th place?  Hey, at least we finished.
