Muscatine Runner of the Year... Noel Spencer!

Well, I feel a little guilty about not posting, but no one reads this anyway, so who cares. Thought I might take a moment to brag about my husband though. He is Muscatine Runner of the Year! It is divided by age group and he beat every male in the 15-29 age group! How cool. He loves running so much, and he's getting pretty fast. The cool thing about the presentation day was that whoever guessed closest to their actual time for a 3 mile race, won a turkey. Noel was only 4 seconds off his time! They didn't tell people their exact times but he must have run it in 21:56 or 22:04. Crazy. Teri is one of the runners and she is fabulous about taking pictures and documenting all the races. She is a sweet woman, and truly generous. In fact, the only reason Noel has a scrapbook is because she takes pictures, prints them, and shares them with us! Here are some of her wonderful photos.

All of the Runners who were present to accept their awards.


Noel's BFFFF Joe. (Best Friend Forever FireFighter). His favorite co-worker and the man who got him into running.


Joe rarely smiles in Pictures. This is a good picture of both of them. This was the 1st RotY win for both of them as well!


Noel with his plaque. He was pretty excited. He also won me a turkey, which is not present in these photos... but I can't wait to learn how to cook a free bird! Yay! Congrats! Noel and Joe, and the rest of the Muscatine Running Friends Club. It was a great season!
