Saturday, March 10th – the 3rd Annual Nun Run 2012 – was a day to remember! From beautiful weather to the 1,135 participants, the day was perfect from START to FINISH.
Jeff Fuentabella – our faithful photographer – uploaded his 1100 photos.

Also, check out the revamped Nun Run site – with more photos, race results, and more. A race day video, as well as a shadow runner (y’all are awesome) video is in the works. Look for that by early next week.
Below is a sampling of the photos and a glimpse into some of the ‘unforgettable’ Nun Run moments!
Enjoy!

Our 10K Nun Runner (and Nun Run Organizer – she’s amazing) – Sr. John-Mark! |

She makes running look fun! |

Could this be ASU and NAU smack talking a bit? All in good fun, I’m sure – because these are two of the friendliest people I know…and Fr. Matt is standing there to referee! |

More ‘Great Crowd!’ |

And just one more ‘Great Crowd!’ |
I have been inspired by Sister John-Mark ever since I met her at Walsh University. Now that I am living in Scotland I think of her passion in the Lord and how she inspires others and it makes me want to be a better person.
