Race for the Cure....

Happy Friday to everyone!  Are you anticipating a good week-end?

When I was a child, my favorite physical activity was to sit in a chair and turn the pages of the book I was reading.:-)  While I enjoy several sports, it is purely as a spectator and not as a participant.  So, it was a challenge when I became a Weight Watcher to find an activity that would help use up some of those calories. 

Walking was the activity I chose.  After a time, I began to give thought to working in some light jogging with my walking.  This might not sound like such a huge deal, but I was 69 years old!  I decided I would also set a goal of participating in the Race for the Cure, sponsored by Komen, that is held in our town.

T-shirt and scarf for participants.

This is the shirt and the scarf that were given to those participating in 2009.  I was pleased that I finished the 5K in less than an hour.

The second t-shirt and scarf.

These are from 2010.  What was enjoyable about this one is that City Girl was able to be in town to participate with me.  We finished in less time than I had finished in 2009!

Because of a conflict with a UMW responsibility, I was not able to participate in 2011.  There will be the same scheduling problem this year as well.

We continue to hope for successful research in finding a cure for this dreaded disease.

I thank  you for reading, and I enjoy your comments.
