(story coming soon)

ok.. so its almost here!!!... not sure if we all lost our minds months ago when we thought we were IRON MEN/WOMEN after a few 5k races and thought we would be capable to do a HALF MARATHON??? ... well, we have all been training....( some more then others )... but all of us have hit the pavement one way shape or form... and its getting closer.. YIKES!!!!.... even "Crapple" does longer runs with me... and sometimes stops dead along the way and rests on some lawns between miles and she laps up some nasty puddles she comes across... but she is a trooper for sure... Dave ran this race in 2005 so this one is very meaningful to me, i found his medal and i will be tying it to my sneaker that day!!!... wish us all luck on Saturday and be hopeful for some great weather!!... and if anyone would like to join in last minute.. more the merrier or just come cheer us to the finish line!!! we would love to have you!!

Thank you United Health Care, Debbie who lead the team from the 14th floor and everyone who walked in memory of Dave on Sunday! Thank you Joanne for hanging out with my boys and Thank you Uncle Derek and Auntie Maria and cousins Sam and Nic for attending. It means so much knowing Dave had a special place in your heart... just as much as all of you have in ours… thank you!!! Dave had high blood pressure and undetected congenital heart disease on top of the other few things that caused him his short life. The autopsy reported that Dave’s heart was severely damaged for someone of his age. I am thankful that Dave was able to give us 10 more years of his life due to running /living a healthy life style which helped him stay with us longer. Dave had two strikes against him and unfortunately in the end.. the AVM/aneurysm took his life… But I am thankful for all the years I had with him... all the years with his children Chase, Madison and Carson…though he is very much missed.. There isn’t a day or minute that goes by that we don’t think about Daddy.. cry a tear for him.. laugh a good laugh for him…and sending him our special thoughts and prayers to heaven….Daddy is not very far from us.. He will hold a special place in our heart forever!!!
