Race for the Cure!!

Yesterday we participated in the Race for the Cure to fight against breast cancer. This is a cause close to my heart because both of my grandmothers have had breast cancer. My dad's mom, who we called Granny, fought the fight very hard a couple of times and was a 30-year survivor when she died. My mom's mom, who we call Sissy, fought the fight years ago and is still going strong.

Kelley, Jay, Madelyne, and Bennet were there too!


It was wet & rainy all morning, but it was kind of nice because it kept us cool! The temperature here Friday was in the mid 80s, and yesterday it was the mid 60s. SO thankful that changed happened yesterday so we didn't have to melt in the heat while we ran!!

Getting ready to goooo...

Annnd the after... Bennett was into making silly faces and not smiling for a picture!

Btw, extra props to my sister who pushed this heavy double stroller the whole way!

We were so excited that we actually finished the whole 5K! I know it's not that long, but this was our first one, and I am not a runner. Been doing a little more lately, but I do more walking. Minimal running. But I actually ran almost the whole first 2 miles (minus a couple of blocks at the end) and about half of the third mile. My final time was 32:26 and Cullen's was around 34 something (he didn't look at the clock when he crossed the finish line). Not too shabby considering, I don't think. Ha, nice hair, hubby!

We had a great time and are hoping to do it again next year!
