Before the race!!
Curtis and I showing off our stellar running outfits
After the race. The entire Nelson clan!! Way to go family!! Sure love you!!!My family ran 3.1 miles Thanksgiving morning. We woke up around 6am-maybe 6:30 and headed to the starting line. We met up with about 3,000 other people who wanted to start their Thanksgiving off with a little run. All of the proceeds of the race went to help the homeless. What a great idea! And what a fun (new) Nelson tradition!
I can't really explain what it means to do these kinds of activities with my dad. Saying it means a lot doesn't quite describe the emotions. I remember the days I didn't think he was going to be around much longer, when there was talk of wheel chair ramps at the house, when he walked into my basketball games and sat in the first available seat because he didn't have enough energy to walk any further. Not only did he run a 5k on Thanksgiving morn, he beat half the family! Way to go dad! And thank you for being the best example to me of keeping a good attitude and never giving up! You are certainly an inspiration!

I love that everyone is holding up a number 1 and your mom is giving a thumbs up! Such a cute picture of you guys!
Fun! Is that sweat? J/K It was so cold and rainy! You guys are troopers!
But the one good thing about your dad having to go to the U alot while he was sick is that he got to go in and see Kasidee in the NICU when no one else could :)
