Race for the Cure

What a sense of accomplishment to cross the finish line at the Race for the Cure 5K held today in downtown KC. The race started right at 7:30 near Crown Center and we walked 3.1 miles through Downtown and the P&L district. I never realized just how many hills there were in the downtown area - quite noticeable when walking!

I walked right along side my best buddy Lori - we have been wanting to do a 5K for a while now and hope to do another this fall...although, this fall we hope to be running it and not walking.

I ran into a previous co-worker who I found out had breast cancer over a year ago and is a survivor and just seeing all the survivors out there - it felt good to know I was walking for a good cause.

Be sure to get your mammogram!
