As you probably know, I am an active volunteer with the Iowa Weimaraner Rescue( IWR). We no longer foster dogs, but I am the application coordinator and newsletter editor. IWR held its first 5K last weekend. The event had two races - an elite race for serious competitors and a fun run for those who wanted a good workout. People were also allowed to bring out their dogs for the fun run - it was neat to see all the different breeds that people brought out for the event. Harper (who I like to refer to as IWR's youngest volunteer) and I arrived early to help out, but mainly spent the morning talking with other volunteers about possible future projects. Since Ross is training for Tough Mudder he decided to run the 5K. My brother, who is becoming a runner this summer, also signed up for the race. The guys did a great job finishing in 33 (Ross & Riley) and 40 minutes (Dave). It was a steamy morning so their times were especially impressive. I was happy that we were all there to support an organization that is near and dear to my heart!
