Right after my last race, I mean that evening, I signed up for Race for the Cure. I knew that this race would be easier. It's only a 5K compared to a 8K. I just didn't know how great of a morning I would have running it.
I got up a little earlier than I usually do. My brother, Roy, and brother-in-law, Justin, would be at my place at 7:15 a.m. My friends, Pati, Steph, and Julia were meeting us at the race.
We arrived right on time. We didn't have to do a whole lot of standing around. After everyone helped each other get our race bibs and "In Memory" and "In Celebration" bibs on we were all set.

| I painted my nails pink the night before. I figured it would help me run faster. |
 |
| Our race bibs. |
 |
| "In Celebration" bibs. |
 |
| "In Memory" bibs |
 |
| A great view of the Capital while on our run. |
 |
| In the back: Justin and Roy. In the front: Steph, myself and Pati |

 |
| Steph and I stayed running together the whole time. |
 |
| The girls were so happy to find me at the end of the race. |
I had such a great time with a great group of friends. And we were able to raise money for a fantastic cause. We shared a lot of laughs and jokes this morning. I'm already looking for our next race to run.
