Running for Eve

Yesterday was the Eve Carson Memorial 5k. It was 40 degrees and raining when we woke up, but Amy and I put on about 10 layers of clothes and tried to get pumped, as this self-timer picture depicts.

We had planned to walk it but ended up running a lot of it out of peer pressure and because we were so cold. I have to admit it wasn't the most fun experience, until close to the end when they had this quote spread over a whole bunch of signs as we neared the finish line:

"Study hard and work hard, play hard, keep an open mind, take pride in yourself, in your school, in what you produce, and the way you help others, if you make mistakes make sure you learn from them and never give up, stay strong to the finish." - Eve Carson

So then I crossed under those big balloons with a smile on my face. If only I had motivation like that every time I went for a run!

We miss you, Eve. Can't believe it's been two and a half years.
