Poor Uncle Billy Fun Run

April 25, 2009 marked the second annual "Poor Uncle Billy Fun Run" in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The history:
"Poor Uncle Billy" came to be somewhere in the late 1980s. Uncle Billy was in town for his birthday. Christy and Teri, then probably 4 years old, were commissioned to pick out his birthday cake. They went to the grocery store and promptly picked a cake with blue ballerinas. They instructed the bakery employee to inscribe the cake, "Happy Birthday Uncle Billy." When opened at the celebration, the cake read: "Happy Birthday, Poor Uncle Billy."

The "Poor Uncle Billy Fun Run" memorializes this grand event.

This year's line up:
Half marathon: Uncle Billy, Christy, Teri, Jonathan, Goodie
5K: Mom, Bonnie, Jennifer, the Nix family
Chauffeur/Spectators: Dad, Mama (via broadcast)

Note: Jonathan has pre-reserved the space underneath the dining room table for 2010. ;)
