Winning Runner

Run, Run fast as you can.  You can't catch me, I'm the running man!  David enjoys running and once a month or more he runs in road races.  We have always made this a family thing so that his hobby doesn't take him away from the family any more than he already is.  We all pile into the car, usually at early morning hours, with breakfast in hand to go and cheer Daddy on.  But recently we all got a first- time thrill.  As we watched attentively for the first runners to round the turn and head for the finish line, we were surprised to find that it was our very own David Trimble!  We cheered all the more loudly as he came closer and my heart swelled as he finished in first place! And this was no ordinary race.  There was prize money involved!  So our very own beloved husband and daddy is now a race winning, money earning runner!  But we love him the same!
Here are some pictures from other recent races.  And of the winner with his prize money!
David ran a race on the 4th of July with his sister the day after our arrival in Oregon.  Rachel was the photographer this morning.

The start of the Wilmore 4th of July race.  They have it the weekend before the 4th.
