It was a beautiful day for the American Diabetes Tour de Cure. I was 5 minutes late for the start of the 12-mile Family Fun Run. I tried to sprint as fast as I could to catch up. After a few blocks I realized I was never going to catch up to anyone riding a […]
A record ride of 10 miles! Riding the Hilliard Davidson High School track was nice compared to sidewalks – no bumps! I arrived very late, at 9:45pm, but that was fine since Relays for Life are all night events. I arrived during the remembrance ceremony and tried to stay low-key but some kids saw me […]
This was the most awesome day ever! As I approached the corner of Broad and High Streets I saw more and more people. I thought I understood the number of people in the Komen Race for the Cure when I was at the corner of Broad and Front waiting to start the race. But, I finally understood when I was finally in the race […]
I had one of the best times ever with four kids at the Race for Hope. It all started with one of them saying, “Hey, look at the clown!” I turned, looked behind me, and said, “Where?” They laughed so hard and insisted that it was me. I said, “Me? No! Not me.” We repeated […]
I had a great time with everyone on the Walk for Education, especially Madison (a girl about 10) who just about fell over when I trumpeted like an elephant. Broad street wasn’t closed off so we had to walk (and unicycle) along the sidewalk. I rode the course almost to the end, then rode backwards […]
What an incredible day! I really appreciate Jim Dorado for giving everyone who donated a gift card an extra raffle ticket. I received 18 gift cards and all the money will go to food bank that participated in the Run 4 the Health of it. I got to see some old friends like Dimitri, Craig […]
What an excellent day. The Weather Channel forecasted rain all weekend in central Ohio and we ended up with a sunny, warm day for the Arthritis Walk and 5K Run. I felt a little weird coming up to the registration area, but saw the Clippers mascot, “Krash” there. I tried to steer clear of him since […]
It was much cooler today, in the 40’s. Loveland is truly a beautiful city tucked into the northeastern part of Cincinnati – just outside I275. I waited for the other runners/walkers to start before I began my first “race”. A few people said I was cheating — they were just joking. I guess they have […]
