Translation of Doggish to English:
"Woof! woof!" to "Great Job Achilles Members! Hope you didn't eat any Hot Dogs though!, gulp!"

5k and 10k walk/run.
Benefit for Muscular Dystrophy
A fun time! Light rain in the beginning that became heavier as the Achilles members finished.
We had a post-race food feast, with food we shard and food like brats, Hot Dogs (Yikes!), blueberry and chocolate crepes, soda, and coffee....(burp!)
From our member Brad:
I wanted to extend my thanks to all who braved the rain to come out and support Jerry's Race, Mr. Rick Francois was quite impressed with our addition to the show and I think would love to see us back next year.
That was a great feeling of support I got and the Muscular Dystrophy Association representatives will be mentioning it to me for some time to come.
I've been feeling more and more a part of a community and family since my first Achilles Day just over a year ago.
Special Thanks to Kelly for helping me defend my LAST PLACE championship in the walk, And to Bob for pushing me to a better time than last year in that effort (Bob was just a few seconds and 700 mosquitos in front of me)
I also wanted to share what I heard as Brad flew by on the Hand Cycle:
The young man who walked past me just as Brad was cruising by said to his dad, "Is that a wheelchair or a bicycle?"
"Whatever the weather, be it dodging a drenching or steaming in the sun, celebrating Sheri's Birthday was, a special "over the rainbow" sort of fun."
