This year we decided as a family to run in the Seattle 5K Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis. Also, joining us was Aunt Angie,Jed, Trainer Angie, Beth( angie's Sister-in -law) and Beth's Mom. We had so much fun doing this as a team. We got up super early and headed downtown Seattle in the frigid cold. Colder than its ever been in Seattle in 20 years. Burrrrrrrr!!! We had so many layers on we could barely bend our knees to run. Angie and Beth dressed up with Santa Hats and tree skirts(so cute). Next year we will all coordinate and dress up for this event. As we were funning thru the tunnel in seattle we were singing Christmas tunes. It was very cool. After we all crossed the finish line we headed to Pike Place to eat at Lowells. Our usual breakfast stop. Again, great memories and we ran for a good cause. Special to us is a boy named Pete. He never once complained and always had a smile on his face. He played on Zach's flag football team and he has Rheumatoid Arthritis. So our family mantra became "running for PETE." Feels good to make a little difference in someone's life. We love you Pete!!!
Lets do it again next year and bring more people with us.
