2011 Komen Race for the Cure
By Laurie | July 7, 2011
I’ve been a bad blogger. Did you even know Dave and I participated in the Race for the Cure this year? Probably not. In the past few years we’ve started a team and had friends join us, but everyone was busy or had plans for the weekend, so it was just us.
It was still a pretty (albeit hot) morning, but we headed out early to beat the crowds and make our way to the starting line.
There was a nice breeze, especially around the water at HP Headquarters while we checked in and picked up our race bibs and t-shirts. We were ready to enjoy the day!
The 5K was easy this year– might have something to do with all the practice Nikki and I have gotten in the past few years, or the month at the gym Dave and I spent. Afterward we wandered around the festival and picked up some freebies. It’s always fun to see the cheerleaders and support from the community too.
We especially missed our friend Cathy and her husband David this year, but we bought her a butterfly to let her know we were thinking about her. Of course Dave’s mom was on my mind as well. We are already looking forward to next year’s race. Thank you to everyone for your support, as always.
Interested in our walks from previous years? Here are some links to 2010, Summer 2009, Fall 2009, 2008. I wish I had posted about all of them, so I’m glad I finally made time to come back and write about this year.
