This is my 4th year posting about the Omaha Midnight Run. A 5k ran on the streets of downtown Omaha at Midnight, to raise funds and awareness for local non-profits. I'm very proud of this run, watching it grow and change throughout the years. It was bitter sweet this year to come as just a participant because that meant that I didn't have a job to do which provided me no excuse for not running. So, along with a couple of Nick's high school buddies and our friend Bjorn, we geared up for my first 5k as a walker/runner. I only made it around once because I wanted to take pictures of the guys crossing the finish line, something I had never experienced before. It was also exciting for me as the school I work for was a sponsor this year and it was cool to see everyone run under the BT arch.
The guys met at our house pre-run for pizza and we watched "The Mighty Ducks 2." We then met our friend Kristina at The Blatt for a pre-run celebratory drink.
The run started off with a fireworks show
We literally ran by the Overpass that OMR was under during their first public run.
My boys finishing strong
