Running with the Fuzz.

Running with the Fuzz.

Has anyone born before 1990 ever heard of our fine officers in blue as the Fuzz?

I thought not.

Today my TeamRMHC running buddy and I headed to nearby Covington for the Fuzz Run. I had done this race once before. It’s always a big fun crowd.

Here we are before race.

Always falling near the 9/11 anniversary, the presenting of the colors and the national anthem seem — to me — a smidgen more poignant.

The crowd at the start.

Takeaways.

Tons of kids in this race. If you want to do a 5K with your child and live in the Georgia Piedmont, this is your race.

I’d have more pics of the cute children but my son was getting miffed at me for tweeting as he called it. I wasn’t tweeting btw. It’s called a serious blogging journalist trying to get shots of children running with their parents.

Our first water break and I had the camera poised on my buddy and this was the shocker.

My son — handing me a cup of water.

And who said chivalry was dead?

I did. Just yesterday.

Chivalry lives. Maybe it’s on lift support.

But there is a heartbeat.

Great race for my son. Our training has paid off and this was his fastest time in a 5K ever.

Well, I think it was.

Off to Macon tomorrow to visit the Ronald McDonald House.

Stay tuned.
