Pear Blossom Run

Rich and his two brothers decided to run the 10 mile Pear Blossom Run this Easter Weekend together down in Medford. His brother Peter had been training and talking smak so that motivated Rich to actually "train" to beat his brothers. The week before the race Rich and Peter were on the phone three night in a row discussing the race, their strategies, and how it "didn't matter who won". Well, the race started at 8:30 in morning Saturday and the guys were pumped.
Here is Rich at the 2 mile marker.










Here we are waiting the half way point...the kids look thrilled to be there don't they? We really did have fun running around trying to catch a glimpse at the guys though! Great Grandma Lee also did a great job keeping up with us! What a trooper!












And here Rich is, at the half way point












Here are the guys after the race...they are even still standing and smiling!












Rich was able to pull through at the end of the race and cross the finish line before the other two brothers, but they really all three had great times!!! We are so proud of the three of them! I'm pretty sure all three of them had personal bests. Way to go guys!! I'm really proud of you!




Here the kids are watching the Pear Blossom Parade...the parade of tractors, horses and school marching bands. At least there was some candy! We had a great weekend!!
