Torch Run

Every year Police Departments all over Utah try to raise money for the Special Olympics. The 10 Departments that raise the most money get their names on the back of the t-shirts. This is the second year Lehi has gotten their names on the shirt. Some of the officers go to Applebee's and wait on the customers for tips. All tips go to the Special Olympics. So this time next year make sure you go to Applebee's and help Lehi Police support the Special Olympics. The torch starts in a city up north(I can't remember which one) and is passed from city to city. Each city runs it through their own city and passed it on to the next. They even had some of the special olympians running with them this year. It is pretty cool to watch. There are a lot of motorcycle cops and other police cars. Almost like a parade. And I love a parade. Especially a parade with hot sweaty men:)
Jeff is not a runner but, every year he goes and runs the torch run. It is about five miles from when it is passed to us and we pass it to A.F. I don't understand how you can run that far and not fall dead after the first 1/4 mile. I don't run. I hate it. I can't breathe, and my legs hurt. He does this every year, and he goes all the way. He doesn't even act like he's tired. It is not fair. But I think it is cool he will do this. Thanks Sean for posing for this pic. That is a mighty big gun you have. teehee
Here is my handsome husband.


Here is all the guys being escorted.


This is my man, he has just finished his run.


This is American Fork Police Department getting ready to do their run to Pleasant Grove. There has got to be something said about a bunch of sweaty men running down the road for a good cause. It was a good thing it was raining, cuz I needed cooling off:)
