Up EARLY this morning to get parking for Race for the Cure. We were there in plenty of time, but when an event is scheduled to have 40,000 participants and they all need parking, I like to bust a move. The early time led to some of the whining, but fortunately there was Starbucks to go around and I stopped. Kidding!
At 7:30 the survivor's parade kicked off and it was a reminder of how many people, women and men, have had to battle breast cancer. Everyone was in high spirits...like this woman..love it!
40,000 is a lot of people! Solid people all the way down the street behind us and in front as well.
On we go! The little kids rode in the strollers for the most part and the rest of the kiddos did great with the 3.1 miles. After we crossed the finish line there were snacks to go around.
It was a great day and I'm glad we were able to go. It's a worthy cause to support and was a lot of fun to be part of something that big. I also learned that my new Nike shoes are really good for walking, and now I have no excuse for not walking every day. Which I will definitly need after all of the junk I ate today! But, Mmmmmm, Mug and Bun is yummy!

Proud of you guys! Great job for such a great cause!
What kind of Nike shoes do you have? We are getting ready to do a 10 mile walk for missions this summer and I need new shoes. I am looking around and trying to decide what kind to get.
