Purdue Calumet. April 26, 2003...Jean and Laura
September 6, 2003
Kathy and Eileen joined Jean and Laura for a walk in Valparaiso. Laura beat her previous record. Kathy and Eileen clocked in at 1 hour and 4 minutes. Kathy held Eileen back....at the back of the pack....but is proud to say she finished. Kathy thought Indiana was flat....where the heck did the hills come from? Eileen pointed out that part of our walk was on Ravine Drive.
The Runners line up...Eileen takes a shortcut between barriers...After the race...Kathy takes a well-deserved cigarette break.
Laura made our Popcorn Necklaces....we got a lot of nice comments about them from strangers.
Five-year-olds running....We put all our numbers on Laura....we told her about them about an hour later.
The very next day Laura and Eileen did a walk in Monee and they both broke their personal best records.
Eileen shaved 12 minutes from her time!
Daphne was along for the walk. Eileen crosses the finish line.
Laura won a medal! Eileen came in fourth place in her division!
Race to Stop Global Warming
September 21, 2003
Laura, Eileen and Daphne.
Featuring Daphne's first race, a "Diaper Dash" where she won a ribbon!
Eileen warms up and then begins the race.
Daphne gets encouraging words from Great Aunt Eileen, then wonders what she is in for and finally, competes in her race.
Daphne didn't move much but neither did the other two contestants.
So when the finish line was finally moved over their heads, Daphne won because it crossed her first!
Back home, Daphne poses with her ribbon and then chews it up. And a picture of Laura.
