Kansas City Spring 2011 Part II...Brew to Brew

So, the reason for our recent trip to Kansas City was for the 2011 Brew to Brew run. This was a 44 mile run mapped out going from Kansas City, MO. to Lawrence, KS. My brother Bryan put our team together and we have been looking forward to it for a while. On Sunday morning we got up at about 5 to head to the Boulevard brewing company to kick off the brew to brew race. We started out with part of the team my brother Mark, sister in law Karena, my Aunt Rosemary and her husband Dusty. We met up with the rest of the team, my brother Bryan, my Uncle Joe and his wife Jill and my cousin Mary later that day. We each ran a leg of the 44 mile run and battling 40 mile and hour winds it took up most of the day!

My aunt Rosemary, her husband Dusty and my brother Mark...Cheers!

That's me on the side of the road...It was soooo windy!

Once we ended up in Lawrence we got the chance to tailgate for a little bit and visit with everyone that met up with us.
