RiGiT RuN 2012

Last Saturday we did a race our friends hosted back in Orem.  What got us excited was the cause the race.  It was raising awareness of the disease Androgenic Alopecia (Male pattern baldness).  How could we not participate?  Dan has been suffering in silence from this disease for most of our marriage! Tiff, Mark, Charlie, and Heather all came to support Daniel.

The ultra cool shirts for the race.  (Dan hiding the effects of his disease with his skull cap!)

It was a 5k/2.5k race around the old neighborhood.  I walked the 2.5k with all the boys and Dan ran the 5k as a warm-up for the 13 mile run he needed to do that day.  (Did I mention he is running a 1/2 marathon this weekend?).  Dan actually came in 3rd place!

I accepted the medal in his behalf since he was already running home.  I was proud my husband kept up with the teenagers!

It was a great race and we can’t wait until next year!  Thanks Drew and Natalie!

  2. Love how it took you a month to post baby pictures, but the race post comes right away. :D I can't believe you went camping!! Don't you get the run over by a bus feeling the day after you get home? Camping is probably the 2nd to last place I'd rather be... and the last place would be spending one more night in the hospital. :) Glad to see you're getting back into things.
