Families forge kinship at Valley half marathon

“If Jane can do it, let me try,''”

After running the 5K kickoff to the Lehigh Valley Half Marathon in Allentown on Sunday, Jim Ott's five children and wife waited near the finish line to cheer him through the last leg of his first half marathon.

''Go Jim!'' ''Go Dad!'' his sons and a daughter yelled before wife Selena snapped his picture.

It was a great run with a great community atmosphere throughout and at the finish. The organizers should be congratulated on a job well done.

The Pryblick's are "running for our lives!". Ally(10) and Adam(5) ran in the Kids Fun Run on Saturday. Mom and Dad(both 40-something) did the 5K on Sunday(going to try the half marathon next year). We need to get more families into this. Maybe and all-family run???? Have to e-mail LV Half Marathon with the suggestion.
