how cool it was, to see them round the corner holding hands!
how cute is she.
running for my cousin, mary, a breast cancer survivor.
I started the race off with this 78 year old man...we were chatting
as we were waiting to begin...said he was aiming for 27 minutes and that I
better not pass him or make him look bad. later on, I saw him and ran after
him to see how he finished. Sure enough, he finished at 27:15, easily
beating my 30.42. So, I had Savannah snap a picture...afterwards,
he told me I should try the Crim, a huge race in Flint I was well aware of,
where people come from all over the world to run. Then, he told me who he was...
THE Bobby Crim who actually started the Crim Race!
couldn't resist this
I seem to spend a lot of time here...my blog is starting to look
like an advertisement for the city of lansing!
My girls and I ran the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
at the Capitol today...I did the 5k and they did the kids' mile.
There were probably over 8000 people there...the energy
was electric...it was so neat to be part of such a huge event
honoring women....oh, it was a great day!

A fierce run for a fierce survivor. I am so very proud of all four of you wonder-girls. Run on! OK, no lie, your word verification is aporhoti!
I cried reading this. Not even sure why. Seeing the "for mary." seeing the girls together. Somer's little go-get-'em face. But, mostly just because I am so proud of you. You are creating the strongest, most powerful women. Women who will look back on all the memories you've created for them...and the legacy of creating the fabulous life you want. You are doing it every day. Love the pic of all you guys in the mirror. Word verification says "pretti." indeed. Love you. Keep runnin. And don't stop believin.

good job on the race too!
SO proud of you!!! Mary will be touched!!
I missed this post somehow... until tonight. LOVE it. I need to run one of these for my sister!
I ran the Crim - there was a girl who asked me to stop talking to her while we were running because she was planning to kick tail (mine I assumed). She was head to toe spandex/running gear/expensive shoes/headbands/wristbands/arm blood pressure odometer. So I stopped talking to her and let her run on ahead of me. Not sure how, but I saw her the last tenth of the last mile and well... passed her like she was walking. But I said NOTHING to her as I passed... didn't want to mess up her last kick!
lol

Mister Pinworm.
