After all, he was one of the founding members in 1979 when all races took place in Black Forest.

Jami Leahy soaked up the cheers, even accepted a few high fives Sunday morning as she completed her 5K run at the 34th annual Rescue Run at Palmer Park.

"It's a fun way to start 2012, and maybe this is the start of a tradition," said Leahy, who ran among five other festively dressed friends. "I ran two years ago but was very pregnant last year. We celebrated New Year's at 10 last night with our friends in New York, woke up early, dressed up and were here to have fun."
