Marlene and the girls walked the 1st annual Keith L. Young Memorial 5k race today.
The girls did great finishing 99th, 100th and 101st overall (unofficial results) with times of 1:01:37 for Addyson and Marlene and 1:02:03 for Janae.
Good Job Girls!!!
They gave away a lot of door prizes, Marlene won a $12 gift card for Mama's pizza and Janae won a cheerleader uniform. She is a bit excited about that if you can imagine.
This race was held in memory of Keith Young who passed away from a heart arrhythmia last year (2008) on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend while training for a marathon relay. His goal in life was to serve others and make them happy, whether it was shoveling the neighbor’s walk, stepping in to do another’s job at work, or cooking dutch oven so that others could enjoy a fabulous meal.
“When running up hill pick up your knees; when running into the wind put your head down; when running down hill coast and make up ground;, when you don’t think that you can run any farther, hold on to my shirt and I’ll pull you along.” -- Keith Young
