spin / second sole multisport team

OK kids, little hiatus is over.   Sorry for the lateness in getting this thing back up and running (pardon the pun), but here we go!

Peanuts for PNET

January 1, 2014 we had an overwhelming response to a call to arms as it were.  The inagural Resolution Run 5K Run/Walk to benefit Peanuts for PNET, a charity for children with PNET brain cancer.  An issue that has hit fairly close to home within our ranks.

Over 150 people came to race and support the cause, including just about the entire SSSMST squad!  Lets hear what some of the team thought:

Jen P:

While this is a race report this really was not a race in my book…it was a wonderful way to start 2014 with many teammates and friends in support of Kellen Kolozvary who is enduring a much tougher “race” than any of us can imagine. Keep running Kellen!

Brian Kostura:

It was a nice snowy run to start off the new year. Great seeing all the Blue and Green out there in support of the PK Family! Big shout out to Pat’s brother Jon on his first 5k in many years!

Murphy:

As Rood said earlier, this is a race close to the team’s heart. It was great to see so many teammates, friends and others come out to support such a great cause. Besides, what a wonderful way to start 2014! Doing a 5K on New Years Day with a whole bunch of people I really like and taking home some hardware, not sure it can get any better… well the only way it can get better is when Kellen beats this and is healthy!
Kudos to Jeff Day for pulling off a great first race, to the City of Berea and Middleburg Heights for the police support and all the others who made the race possible.
A bonus for me though was getting to catch up with my buddy from Lake Placid, Patrick’s mom, Karen and getting to meet his dad, Jack/John. Seeing Patrick’s brother, John was OK too ; ). I missed my opportunity to meet Erin’s folks and sister though : (. Hopefully in the future.

An incredible amount of money was raised, and fun was had by all!  Too many pics to post, but quite a few can be seen at the following link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27518066@N05/sets/72157639282580735/#

Special kudos goes out to long time Second Sole runner Jeff Day, who organized this event and pulled it off in style!!  Great job everyone!
