marathon man...

this year chris has run in a couple different 5k races.  the first was "miles for better smiles" which the dental school puts on to raise money for childrens clinics.  it was a fun day.  we went out to tule springs and he ran the race while i talked to a couple of the other wives. it was a pretty short event as he finished in like 27 minutes and then we ate a little food and left.  needless to say chris was the only person from his class to show up and run.  slackers.  but he had a good time.

then in november he ran in "race for rob" who is the older brother of a friend of mine and a former unlv dental student who was about to graduate from endo school and had a massive stroke.  he is on the road to recovery but is faced with both massive school debt bills and hospital bills.  so they had a 5k to raise some money.  this one chris did really well in and placed 4th.  the winner was the old guy who is like 75+ years old.  it was a beautiful mid november day and a good experience all together.
