The 2012 Robert and Linda Mathis Memorial Run
I wasn't able to make the hopefully-first-of-many Mathis memorial fun runs last weekend thanks to a stomach virus. Peter Lubber's did a fantastic job chronicling a great day put on by Jennifer Lee Dicus, Aaron Summerhays, and many others. Be sure to check out his story., complete with words and memories shared by Race Directors and runners alike. You can also still donate to the Robert and Linda Mathis Foundation, where proceeds go to families surviving DUI accidents.
I did swing by and post a makeshift memorial at the spot where they were last seen alive in Incline Village, NV. It says, "Make Your Life An Inspired Journey. Today, hundreds of runners celebrated your lives on the trails you shared with open hearts. We miss you."
And we do miss you both.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI'm Linda's mom. because of health issues I was unable to attend the run. My other youngsters were there along with some of my grandchildren.
Peter's blog was a wonderful tribute to them.
I thank you, Scott, for the remembrance at Incline Village. Marlys
Wonderful memorial, Scott. The Inov-8 shoes are a nice touch--probably one of the many, many pairs you won in their races!
