Race for the Cure!

On Saturday David and I ran the Race for the Cure here in Columbus. It's a 5k (about 3.1 miles) road race to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (www.komencolumbus.org). I'm sure most of you have already heard of it.

We had so much fun!!! There were tons of people running, and they had a lot of live music along the way, which was really encouraging. David ran faster than me, so we just saw each other at the beginning and the end. :) I pushed Wesley in the jogging stroller, and I wasn't sure if I was going to run the whole way or walk some. But I ended up running the whole thing, and I felt really good! And Wesley did great too. He enjoyed watching all the people, and we even saw a few dogs running along the way. The best part was towards the end when I was getting a little tired, there was this big group of motorcyclists who had their engines revving as they cheered and gave high fives. I made my way over to the side just so that I could get some high fives, and it really gave me the extra push I needed to make it to the end.

All three of us had such a great time and enjoyed talking about it the rest of the day. We couldn't get any action shots during the race since we were both running, but here are a couple of David and Wesley before the race, and one of me and Wesley after the race.

Why is climbing in the fridge so much fun?

Flowers!



I love my flowers! Last year was my first time planting perennials, and I'm so excited that they came back this year! (all except for two) We just have a small, very simple flower bed here at our apartment, but I'm making the most of it. I'm going to plant a couple more soon. Does anyone know what the big one in the middle is with the pink flowers? I can't remember.
