We ran our first 5k on June 6, 2009. It was the "Badges of Honor" run to benefit the Survivors Fund. The Survivors fund benefits the families of Police, Fire, and Correction officers who are killed in the line of duty. Nicole, one of my friends, and her family are very close to this charity as it touched their lives when her father, a Philadelphia mounted police officer, was killed in the line of duty in 1987. It was an honor to be involved and to help raise money for such a worthy cause. Thanks so much to Nicole for inviting (and encouraging) us to participate!
Nicole and her sister, just before the race started. Thanks again Nicole for the invite and the inspiration! Jeremy ran with Nicole and her family and finished in around 37 minutes!!
Gabe and I worked really hard doing our first 5K run together and finished in around 46 minutes!
I know this video will seem random- we were just getting started with the run and I wanted to snap a quick picture of Swoop (the eagles mascott) however I didn't realize my camera had switched to video mode on the dial. ( I think from how I had it stored in under the stroller) Anyway, here's a quick (really quick) look at our pal Swoop at the begining of the Badges of honor run!!
