Feels like spring out here! Sorry for all of you back home that are buried under snow, but we took Dixie for a walk this afternoon and Greg wore shorts! :)
Saturday morning was a little chilly, but I headed over to Moscow to run in the Red Dress 5K. February was heart health month, and all the proceeds from this race benefited the Cardiac Rehab program at the hospital. The advertisement said that entrants were encouraged to wear a red dress. I didn't have one, so I just wore a red t-shirt, thinking it wasn't a big deal. But it was a big deal...I've never seen so many red dresses (and so many men proudly wearing dresses) in my life. Kids, dogs, the marine corps... everybody was in a red dress! Here are a few of the amusing pictures I took on the run.
The best dresses were on the men of the Marines. Thankfully they were wearing shorts underneath, because some of the dresses were a wee bit short! I especially liked the combat boots paired with the dress! There were a few mudholes at the beginning of the course and these guys made it a point to hit every single one.
This man came complete with suit, hat, handbag and jewelry!
There were quite a few dogs in the race, all wearing red!
We ran out past a few sheep farms. The sheep were definitely running scared! (Thankfully we didn't have to run by any bulls...that probably would not have ended well.)
Check out this little guy! There were quite a few kids...most of them gave up on running when we ran past a goat who had his front hooves on the fence rails taking in the excitement. It was pretty amusing, I contemplated stopping to take a picture, but didn't want to be the only grown-up (without a child) who was ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the farm animals. :)
Saturday evening we spent a few minutes catching up with our Latino friends. We used to be the first to arrive at any of the Latino events, as they have all mastered the art of arriving (late) with style. Greg and I were officially "accepted" into the group this time because we were over an hour late for dinner thanks to Greg's work at the lab.
If Greg and Jen are reading this, we hope you're enjoying Ireland, send us some pictures! No race plans for next weekend, so we'll have to find something else interesting to write about for the next blog post. Hope everybody in West Virginia can keep their heads above the snow...just don't send it our way please! :)

Hey Linz,
The red dresses look great. That is such a good idea. They go all out! WE will try not to send you any snow and it looks like we might be done for this season. Temps are up today and the sun is shining bright. Edsel said yesterday at church he had to get on the internet and research what that bright light was in the sky-it has been a while since we have seen the sun. Hope you have a great week. I will be expecting some great pics from your trip next week.
Love you,
Mom
