Flying Pig - Kelts - Scholarship...Busy Weekend!


Flying Pig - Team Jackie

Principal Jonathan, Debbie, Pam, Sharon, Pam, Jackie

Moraine Meadows entered a team in the Flying Pig Marathon in honor of our friend and colleague Jackie. Some did the 5K on Saturday, the rest did the 1/2 on Sunday.
It was UGLY. Got up @ 4:30 a.m. to thunderstorms. When we (me Sharon Deb & Pam) found a parking spot, we waited because there was lightening...waiting for some kind of update that the race might be delayed - to no avail. Waiting in the car, trying to find a radio station with an update, the battery died-giving me the PERFECT excuse to wait out the lightening. I waited for AAA while my three teammates went to the starting line. By the time AAA arrived and put in a new battery, the lightening stopped (but not the rain) and I was ok to go. OK...I'm a wimp. I am VERY fearful of lightening. But I eventually met up with Sharon and basically did a relay. But I crossed the finish line. Don't feel good about not doing the complete 13.1, but I do 13.1 EVERY week. So I'm ok (although I KNOW Fort would have SUCKED IT UP and done it...and I know she was shaking her head calling me a wimp...but SOMEBODY had to wait for AAA and I was the perfect person to do that!)
SO. I didn't REALLY do the 1/2, but I contributed to the cause, and that's what it was all about this time.
LOVE YOU JACKIE!

WAY TO GO KELTS!

There is only ONE thing better than spending time with Nick, Mere, Drew & Max....spending time with JMac and Fort's friends. This is our second family and we LOVE spending a Saturday with them! Unfortunately we missed HAPS this time because we were headed to Cincy to the Flying Pig Expo - had to pick up stuff for the race in the morning! WE LOVE YOU KELTS!

Penalty kick (right?)
