Army 10 miler

We spent Sunday at the Army 10 miler running in honor of our friend, David Taylor, who was killed in Iraq in 2006.  Here we are with many of the people who came out to support the Taylor family (we were very excited when this picture made it to the online Army Times!).  The banner behind us is one of David's favorite sayings, "Don't quit on the uphill."  It was an incredible event to culminate our weekend reminding us of the great sacrifices many people make for our country.  We were proud to be able to be there.
 Neither Rich (broken foot) nor I (unhappy body) ran this year but the kids participated in the kids's run.  It was a little crazy and chaotic to say the least but they were so proud of their medals!  And 2 of the kids that Terefech was with in Ethiopia ran as well.
