What We're Doing
Before the rays of the sun falls upon the sand, before the rooster makes its morning call, and before most wake to the new day, we'll be ready. With both hands on the chair, Arnie will push his father a distance totalling 26.2 miles. We're doing this for a great man. On Sunday March 21 2010, the Martinez Family will be running with or supporting Arnulfo Martinez Sr. We're doing this in remembrance of when he once stepped upon the ground and walked with ease, to commemorate all he's done for us in the past, and to be with him as he experiences his first marathon ever! So look out LA Marathon because the Martinez Family is coming.

Thanksgiving Meeting
Thanksgiving was an absolute blast. We started the night off right with the most delicious ham in the history of the world and a scrumptious turkey named Tom. When our stomachs had been filled way beyond capacity, it was time to get down to buisness. Papers were being handed left and right as well as pens and pencils. Everyone drew their own t-shirt designs and we ended with a total of around 12 entries. Then it was time to put democracy to good use as everyone secretly turned in their ballot as they casted their vote. The winning entry (in picture above) was of Arnie Sr. in a wheel chair with rockets on the bottom to make it appear as if he were zooming by everyone and everything at the speed of light. Not only did this entry win but it won by a landslide. The highest amount of votes given to any other entry was around 2 while the winner received 10. Overall it was a joyous occasion and the word was certainly spread to every family member about what we are trying to accomplish. For all the members of Team Martinez, remember to sign up for the number of miles you'd like to run and everyone else, thank you so much for showing your support. Happy Thanksgiving!!! ( Yes I know I'm a little late.)
