A Running Doc’s Life: 4th of July Week!

This week of July 4 started out Monday evening on July 1 with the Freedom 5K Run/Walk. We had a good crowd, and a few sprinkles, which really helped compared to previous years when it typically would be 90 degrees. It was good running weather. The Reiffenberger clan came away with Medals, with Sarah and I getting first in our age group, and our daughter Megan getting second in her age group.

Then Thursday, on the 4th, our run club met and ran almost 5 miles with our patriotic gear on, carrying flags. It has become a tradition. Even a police car went by us and flashed their lights and sirens for us!

It was our holiday to work as well, so clinic kept us busy. Rain delayed the fireworks shows, which only made our dog Dakota happy. We helped move our daughter Molly, and son-in-law Tanner into their new house that they built. The only bad part of this is the grandkids were gone with the other grandparents, so we did not get to see them. But they sent a picture of them in their patriotic garb as well.

So hopefully you had a good holiday. Hopefully the rain did not put a damper on all of your plans. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, and hopefully the weather is going to get warmer and less rain! Stay active. There are always ways to keep trying. Participate. Practice. Just get out the door and go! Keep moving everybody!
