"Run for the Rainbow" is back! This is a really great event for a fantastic cause -- it's a family festival and 5k benefiting pediatric cancer research of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
Our team was a little bit smaller than the one we had two years ago (not enough notice). We might have been small, but we were strong! Here's a great pic of the kids:
I just love these guys! That's Colin, TJ, Lindsay (my running buddy), and Megan. Our friends Dan and Cheri Nelson also ran with us. They're so much fun...I was really glad they came again!
The whole event was a good time. The pre-race gathering for the Children's Champions (that would be TJ) at Rusty Bucket was awesome. Although it probably wasn't too smart to eat pizza an hour before the race. Or, in TJ's case, fish and chips! The race itself is a beautiful course...it runs thru a gorgeous neighborhood in New Albany. (I'd love to walk around that neighborhood at night when I could see in the windows! Ok...that made me sound like a creeper.) The post-race "party" was fab, as usual -- Panera, Subway, Dairy Queen, Cheryl's Cookies, Starbucks (supposedly...we never saw them). Funny...I ran 3 miles, but probably gained 3 pounds. That's just not right. But overall, I'd say it was a great run and a successful event. Hope they made lots of $$ for NCH!!
