Happy New Years!

Happy New Year everyone.  I hope you all are enjoying the day.

This morning Piper and her friend Melissa ran in a 4.4 mile race for charity.  It was 28 degrees out.  We were pretty surpised when about 500 runners showed up.  Piper said it was the toughest run she has done to date because of a monster hill.  The course was a 2.2 mile loop that they had to do twice so she had to climb that hill both times.  She ended up with a great time of 46:16 and ran the whole race with her friend.  I’m off to watch the Rose Bowl.  Happy 2009!

The run was sponsored by Gazelle Sports and they brought their mascot.

You pretty much have to be crazy to run on New Years Day.

The winner. He actually went around three times before Piper and Melissa finished their two laps.

Out on the course running.
