Andrew's First 5K

The other day while visiting Andrew and his family, I mentioned that Jon and I were running an upcoming 5K named "The Turkey Trot".  For those of you who aren't sure what a 5K is, it's a 5 kilometer or 3.1 mile running race.

I asked Andrew if he would like to run the 5K.  His response was "Chrisy, I can't".  Yes, Andrew has nicknamed me Chrisy.  I know I know, but it's cute when he says it.  Anyway, back to the point.  After hearing Andrew say he couldn't run the 5K, I really started thinking.  He might not be able to "run" the 5K, but with a little help he would be able to complete it.  I asked Andrew if he would like a free ride in his wheel chair.  The smile on his face said it all.  So this weekend Andrew and I will be completing his first 5K together.

Jon (aka the running camera man) will be sprinting back and forth to capture the event.  Be sure to check back next week for a race recap and to watch a video of the event.
