About Me
Reist - Rice + T
Running is not the first topic that people ask me about, it's my name.
Reist Eby Mummau pronounced Rice+t EB MooMaw is the definition of a family name. Reist is my great grandmothers maiden name, Eby is my grandmothers maiden name, and Mummau is a Pennsylvania Dutch surname. I have always been proud of my name, Reist is also my Grandfather first name and he is my hero. It is a fun name and it makes me laugh when I am running towards the finish line and the announcers stair blankly at me because they realize they have no idea how to say my name.
Running in the USA has allowed me to meet so many new people, that don't know how to say my name!
My Crew
Andrea, Grace, and Caleb, our version of the Core 4. (Yankee reference) They have cheered me on louder then any family in the history of running...(in my opinion).
Andrea is my rock, my partner and my best friend. Every time I run I set goals, one of them is always to impress her. She encourages my running and loves my stories and videos.
Effort is Inspiring
Take a look at yourself next time you go out to run. YOU are the DEFINITION of a RUNNER, our community is made up of so many different types of runners. Runners that are fast, runners that are slow, runners that run short distances and runners that run long distances. It is the diverse make up of our community which makes us so strong and so awesome. So go out and have a great run and when you're finished, be proud of your results, be proud of yourself as a runner, be proud to be part of the running community. -Reist
It is time to Finish It
When the Doctor says that someone you love has breast cancer, the fear is overwhelming. But if we choose love over fear, and strive to do everything we can to help FINISH IT, it will get done.
My cause is to raise so much money, that when they find the cure, there will be money left over for a party!
I support the The Donna Foundation as they search for a way to FINISH breast cancer
