Jump Right In and Run!
Storm Lake Running Club named Owen Keenan, 4-year-old son of John and Karen Keenan, the official starter for the third annual Jump Right In and Run half-marathon event on Sunday, Sept. 5. The running club named Owen the official starter because of the strength and courage he's shown in his recovery from a car accident on April 4. Owen's multiple injuries required almost four months of hospitalization and on-going intensive therapy. The fighting spirit shown by Owen and his family is inspiration for all participants of the half-marathon event.

It's about courage
Members of Storm Lake Running Club send their prayers, best wishes and good thoughts to Owen Keenan and his family. Owen continues to recover from injuries after a car accident on April 4. Updates about Owen's recovery are available on his CaringBridge website. (Quick registration required.)
Owen's parents, John and Karen, have raced in and helped organize SLRC's Jump Right In and Run events -- there's no question where he gets his determination and warrior spirit. Keep fighting, Owen! You are inspiration for all of us!
It's about a goal
Dr. Troy Ivey is well on his way towards meeting his goal of running 50 marathons - one in each state - before he turns 50. Dr. Ivey's next event is the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 19. Last year he ran the Boston Marathon in 3:25:29. Invitations to participate in the Boston Marathon depend on a combination of a runner's age and marathon completion on a sanctioned course.
Other future races for Dr. Ivey include the Eugene Marathon on May 2 in Eugene, Ore.; KeyBank Vermont City Marathon in Burlington, Vt. on May 30; and the Rock'n' Roll Seattle Marathon on June 27.
