Race for the Cure

I finished the 5K Saturday. No problem. With the perfect weather and the crowds and the bands at every corner, it felt like the shortest 3.1 miles I've ever run.

I love Race for the Cure. It's so huge in my town (over 30,000 participants this year!). And it's so emotional. All those runners/walkers wearing "I race in memory of ____" or "I race in celebration of _____" signs on their backs. My mother-in-law died of breast cancer 5 years ago, so I wore her name on my sign.

And I thought of her often during the run. I miss you, Kath.
