5k-ok!

August 26th, 2009

One day last week our good friend Chana (of dim sum fame) asked Matthew if he wanted to join her in a 5k for charity taking place 3 days later. Matthew, who has not run 3 steps since sometime in June, maybe May, agreed and off they went. 

Asher and I walked over to the park to cheer them on. 

There were alot of people there, which is great because all the money raised was going to Greg, a guy who works at the local running store who was diagnosed with cancer.

(can you spot MP?)

Now Chana is a triathlete and can fart her way through a 5k but she is so awesome and encouraging that she stuck with Matthew from start to finish, even when it was dark and they were running through the woods with no lights on.

We picked a spot to wait for them…

Here they are after finishing, apologies for the awful, awful photo. Asher got the hiccups just as they were done and it really pissed him off.

And guess what folks, He didn’t even come in last place! He beat 2 other dudes! Gooooooo Matthew!
