Run with Dean Karnazes

We got up this morning and drove over to Pittsburgh to Run with Dean Karnazes!  We were a bit early to the race but that is okay.  Dean Karnazes is running cross country for the Healthy Kids campaign.  He is raising money for children to learn how to make healthy choices.  We listened to the tales of Dean running thus far, then the Pittsburgh Parrot came out and joined the crew on stage.  Finally it was time to take off.  Dean's words right before the race was 'no one passes me'  LOL!  The race wasn't exactly the most organized but it was fun.  It was three laps around baseball fields/parking lots/and walking trail.  It ended up being about 3.5 miles.  Apparently they aren't real good about the measurements of a 5k!

I did get to meet Dean.  He had stopped running and was standing on the side of one of the parking lots, I stepped over and slapped his hand.  Not a formal introduction BUT...we can add him to my list of running greats!

Pictures to follow, I am too tired to get up and walk over and get the memory card.
