Brother Sister Fun Run

My younger brother is leaving for Afganistan next month and he and one of my sisters decided to run a half-marathon together of their own making and route.  My other sister thought it would be fantastic for us all to train (I use that word loosely) and surprise him by joining them throughout the run.  My two sisters flew in secretly from Idaho and California and I came from well....just the next town over with my kids.  It turned out to be the most spectacular thing ever.  At one point, Kurt turned to me and said "I love this!  I am going to remember this day forever!"  And I believe we all will!  My older brother couldn't get out of work. We missed him and we know he would've loved to be there with us!  My brother and sister who started the race ran 15 miles total.  Me and my other sisters ran between 8-10.  Which is great because we were each hoping to do 5.  We just kept running all the way till we got home at my parents house.  The kids ran 3-6 miles depending on when they hopped in and out.  All I can say is it was awesome!  We even caught the attention of the local newspaper in Estacada and they did a story on us.  The local paper had four tv stations that wanted to run the story.  It ended up being on channel 12 news the next night.  FUN!!!

Here is the video I put together on youtube if you're interested!
