hi every bloggie! I'm doing all I can to get on Santa's good boy list... so last Saturday I enlisted mom in the 10K Jolly Jaunt Road Race to benefit the Special Olympics. She ended up raising $305! Wow Santa will be impressed.
Right in our city, the Special Olympics just opened a brand spanking new facility! It was quite impressive.

Look at all the Jolly Jaunt Special Olympic Reindeers gathered before the race. I don't know but they don't look too happy about running today.
The start line...all are merry right now.
We began the race by recanting the athletes' oath- ""Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." Since I couldn't run with mom... I was hoping she just finished.
And here is Marlboro's finest... killer boots man and always a DD- Dunkin Donuts coffee in hand.
Here we go.... race day 39 degrees.. a bit chilly but the snow sleet mess held off until the afternoon. Whew...
That's mom- all smiles the first mile. Marlboro is all hills.. and I mean HILLS.
Since it was a JOLLY Jaunt I let mom wear my bell. See it attached to her shoe!?? Take a listen.. the spirit of norwood jolly jaunts too.
There was a cute furry spectator.. I should've come. And the finish line 57:07 was mom's time. And If you don't know, the Special Olympics always throws a great party. A huge breakfast buffet followed the race: sausage, eggs, bacon, bagels, fruit,etc. Everyone put on their feedbag. What huh? no doggie bag? What's up with that
Okay... I think I'll make the good boy list now that WE raised money at the Jolly Jaunt.

Hey, at least she wasn't running in Worcester. Some big honking hills there. Good job, mom. I bet they cleared out in front when they heard you jingling and and jangling. Likely thought it was Norwood sneaking up on them.

Nice job, Norwood!!! 12 days to go? What else have you got in store for your mom?
ReplyDeleteSanta knows you're trying Norwood and that counts:)

Norwood, Santa will bring you bring you everything you want after that! We were so happy to read about the great effort your Mom put in and all the other runners as well to raise funds for Special Olympics.
ReplyDeleteSpecial Olympics is very close to our hearts here - the NSLM is involved in a SO Equestrian Club and has also played in a SO Basketball Club. We cannot say enough about the very special people involved in SO and the wonderful support it provides to 'special' athletes. It is one organisation we very happily fundraise for.
Very well done to your Mom and all the other runners. That is a great Special Olympics facility you have there.
love and woofs

Norwood I think that is a wonderful thing your mom did. It is a very worthwhile cause.
ReplyDeleteGood that you were careful around those geese. They can be very much mean. Loved the pic.
Excellent woos to your mom for the run. And do be careful around geese. They honk, hiss and run at you. Not that we turned tail. No, not us.
ReplyDeleteWowzers! Your mama is wonderful for running in the cold and raising such a hefty sum for a good cause! Congrats but sorry you didn't get to go! Oh and sorry those pesky geese gave you so much guff... er... honks, Norwood!
ReplyDeleteHugs xo

Great job, Norwood and Mom, and all for such a great cause. We finally got a DD close to home, but Mom says they have to do something about their decaf brew - too bitter.
