This past weekend (Sunday) we took the short trip to Eugene (Oregon) and participated in the Truffle Shuffle, a benefit fun-run held at Alton Baker Park every February. We completed this run in 2007, skipped 2008 because I was prego and now have 2009 under our belts. It's just a short, 4-mile run with no competition (some people feel the need to compete I suppose but we do it for fun).
The running crew (Left to Right): Hilary, Jeff, John and me (Molly). Jeff is my cousin and Hil's is his lovely wife. I think Hil's is the only one that tried to make good time today. John had been sick for two weeks prior to today and was STILL sick during the run with bronchial/chest/cold stuff. So no fun for a run, especially when cardio is important. Jeff had started feeling ill that morning too, but still participated. I hadn't ran for a week and a half as it was (my fault. sympathy sick with John ha-ha) ... so John, Jeff and I ran together while Hil's blasted ahead and finished a bit ahead.Our missing team member is Serena. Unfortunately she hurt her knee in college sports the week before the event and ended up having surgery the Friday before. :( We were quite sad that she could not make it. Hilary used Serena's number and didn't bother to change the name on the roster so Hilary's time is under "Serena Lee". (See "Sir Weiner" you can vouch that you had surgery on your knee on Friday and ran a great on Sunday. ha-ha!)
Here are the times
We would be a little embarrassed, but keep in mind, we weren't running at all close to what we are capable considering our unprepared selves. LOL John, Jeff and I conversed the entire run. Good times!
Taking a walk before the race. Everyone thought the race started at 12:30pm so we were all ready and then heard the announcer say that our's didn't start until 2pm! Seriously?! So we hung out for a bit until then. We got to spend more quality time with Sam, Emily and Daniel so that was cool.
Getting pinned and ready!
"I'm not touching youuuu!"

I love the pics, you look so cute in that pink hat! If the name was "Truffle Snuffle" it would be like pigs snuffling about for wild truffles. Neat, huh?
