barbi & i did the race for the cure yesterday morning. it was an amazing experience. there were people everywhere. it was really cool to see so many people come together to support this cause. it rained the whole time we were there, but it wasn't raining too hard, so it wasn't bad. i did ditch my glasses pretty early on, though, because i got tired of wiping the water off. i figured i could just follow the huge pink crowd & i would be okay. i was surprised by how many people came to watch & cheer people on. i told barbi that after standing on a corner cheering at people running or walking by for like 40 minutes, i would probably lose my enthusiasm. but the people at the finish line were still just going nuts when i finally got there & they weren't showing any signs of letting up. it honestly made me feel bad because i walked the 5k & as i closed in on the finish line, everyone was yelling & cheering - saying, "you're almost there!!! keep it up!" & stuff like that. i told barbi that it made me feel guilty for not running the rest of the way. oh well. at least i didn't get passed by the 3 year old in her pink barbi jeep. ha!
the fountain had pink water!
me & barbi in front of the fountain
barbi raced in memory of tammy leslie (a good friend of a lot of our coworkers)
i raced in celebration of "miss pat" latham (rachel's daycare provider) & brenda tice (josh's grandmother)
i couldn't get enough of the pink water!
before the race: me, barbi, leana, & (i think) tiffany
after the race: us a little more tired & wet
