Whoo hoo! 🥳 I came in second place for my age group in the OVMP Run to the Wall/9-11 first responders memorial race! 🏃🏼♀️
When the going got tough running up the MANY hills that were on this trial, I could hear the voices of encouragement from the 13 fallen soldiers that I dedicated my run to. Was it all in my mind? Could have been but the voices sounded real to me. The OVMP is always a beautiful and solemn place to visit and always an honor to support and run in the memory of those that ‘gave their all’ for Americans to have the freedom and protection that we enjoy today. Thank you to the race organizer, Melissa James and all of the volunteers that helped put on a fantastic event! 👏👏👏👏👏
First place in the 60-64 age group. Last year I came in third… maybe next year will be the “ONE”. 🤣😂I am not excited at all! 🤣😂🤣I dedicated my run to the 13 soldiers that were killed August 26, 2021 at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan while assisting American’s home to the USA. 🇺🇸Ohio Navy medic, Max Soviak, one of the 13 soldiers killed.Unfortunately, James knee gave out on him and he wasn’t able to finish the race. You know Opa Runs, you can’t keep a good man down and as the saying goes ‘he’ll be back!’ 🤣😂The OVMP volunteers that not only put on the ‘Run to the Wall’ race every year, but they work hard at keeping this beautiful place, a place of peace and honor. 🇺🇸 Our Company, Total Office, Inc. was a proud sponsor of this years race! 🇺🇸The spread for the hungry runners! 😋The Eternal Flame.Dedicated to the war animals of the Vietnam War 🇺🇸🇺🇸Lest We Forget.🇺🇸This year’s award medals
