Here are a few images taken at the 2011
Race for Riley. The first picture, taken after I got home, is of the race schwag. The total haul of stuff from this one race probably exceeds all the stuff that I might have accumulated from all the races I have ever run in my entire life. Just a few items in the schwag bags were, a 10-pack of AA Duracell batteries, a big pack of Luv's diapers (not shown), sunscreen, deodorant (2), toothpaste, toothbrush, a mesh airport style bag, body wash, Swiffer, Mr. Clean scrubbing sponge, a nice cooking apron (not shown), etc.

The grass was damp from the dew so some may have gotten their feet a bit wet.
