Sunday was the Heart Walk. It was about 2.5 miles around the industrial park. Fairly level, all macadam. There was a lot of people, I'm guessing maybe 2,000.Jarrods Jems were well represented by (left to right) Bonnie, Sharon, Mandy, Bev and me. We got the team registerd in 2 days. The only money we raised was money we kicked in ourselves. Maybe next year.
Pat bailed before we left the house. She was excited and I needed to bring a chair for her. (She could have walked a block!) But she didn't like the chair I picked, and the only lawn chair left wass dirty in the garage so she took her marbles and went home. Whatever.
Bethy cancelled as we were leaving the house. She had done landscaping the day before at the salon and injured her back and ankles. She was going to spend the day on the couch. Her ankles were still bothering her this morning when we walked on the canal path in Easton.
We all got to the walk about a hour early so we'd get decent parking.Sure glad we did, because they ran out of space. it was bumper to bumper coming in. there was a classic rock band playing, and vendors had displays. Bonnie wanted to see former 76er Darryl Dawkins. Megan and Jarrod used to hang out at the Valley Dawgs games (He was coach) and she wanted to say hi. He didn't remember her, but it really seemed like he remembered Jarrod and gave her a huge bear hug. Of course with pro athletes you never know. They meet so many people, they are good at faking knowing you.
I put some additional photos in my webshots album. Go to page 11 for the Heart walk. http://sports.webshots.com/album/571159089UYLujf
The next Jarrods Jems event will be Shaku's Basket Bingo on Friday night. Since we had the shirts made, we're all wearing them.
