The set up was a great tribute to a cause close to my heart (literally!). Between the vendors and volunteers, we had plenty of motivation, snacks, and lots of fun people to watch. It included a 5K race, or walk, or stroll - pick your pace. Everyone from professional local runners to women in wheelchairs with pink capes and dogs participated. It was so fun to watch the families and friends cheer each other on.
I jog-walked with a couple of girlfriends from work (GO Angie & Sarah!), and I'm pretty pleased with my time for a beginner: 36.32 minutes! Maybe if I actually started training this could be a regular gig.
Now I just have to get the kids excited about it too. They were good sports, hanging out and playing while Mommy stretched, sweated and sighed. Maybe the dozen Krispy Kremes helped.

Go Mel!! You ARE a survivor!!
Gooooooo Mel! I'm so proud of you.
You should so be a runner! My husband will be proud of you, although if you talk to him, he'll try to convince you to go for a triathlon or marathon next, and forget the "little stuff." I must say, even as a non-runner myself, the "race atmosphere" is pretty cool and rather addicting. So watch out!
