Amy's third Race: RUN FOR THE CURE

Fun, fun, fun. What a gorgeous, gorgeous morning, as you can see by the first few photos. The Susan Komen Race for the Cure was a fun and touching event, as usual. Fun, because there are festivities and music and food and freebies. Touching, because breast cancer survivors are identifiable by the distinct pink event t-shirt, and are celebrating life. Touching, also, because almost every participant has a note pinned to their t-shirt about a survivor or a remembered loved one.

Don is an ace: he ran the race in 22:30. That means he ran his miles in an average of 7:30 per mile. Amy and I walked it in, well, you could bake a 4 or 5 pound chicken on 350 in the time.

Amy loved the warm-up festivities. She was animated and put on a show for those of us around her. She was a gem during my 5k walk, and then we went out to breakfast. I have never had as much apple sauce and cheesy grits on me as I had today. We had a ball.

And then, as usual, she fell asleep...
