Today was an amazing day with a group of amazing people I have here. It was the Race For the Cure, and a bunch of us got together and we registered for this race, made shirts to enter into the t-shirt contest, and planned a big day around it. We ended up raising over 1,000 dollars for breast cancer in the process to and our shirts we made ended up raising 180 dollars. So all in all we had fun doing a good deed. I have ran many 5k's in my life, considering I did run cross country in high school, but this thing was huge. There were so many people here and it took forever for us to get started and weave our way through the massive amounts of people. But it was truly a blast and even though it took me 29 min to run it, it was still fun! We also won the contest for our t-shirts and got a gift card to a coffee shop here. Oh yes. we ended up stuffing our faces at Red Robin after and my two of my friends came home to get our puppies to take them to the park. It was a beautiful sunny day here and I was not letting it go to waste. I also signed up today for Blooms Day. Which is another Race here in Washington that is supposedly really big. People from all over travel here to run a 10k and they say there are so many people that it takes an hour for everyone to get past the start line!!! It is going to be interesting. It is in two weeks so hopefully I can make it 7.46 miles. . .
I am so sad to say goodbye to the weekend but I am counting down the days till my birthday and till when Joe comes home. So they need to hurry!! Hope everyone had a good weekend.

I don't know you, but I'm so proud of you and your friends for doing this. My grandmother, who passed away last year from heart complications, survived breast cancer TWICE! I myself survived ovarian cancer, I've been in remission for 2 years now. Thank you for participating in the race.
