In honor of both of R's parents who were diagnosed with cancer last year (read about that here), R and I signed up for our city's Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. The race was today and we had a blast! The weather took a dive the night before, so it was a cold morning. But warmed up pretty quickly as we started to run.
Making the trek from our parking spot to the starting line.
Go Team Awesome! Yes, we formed a team, and that was our name. Our shirts were from a big family race held at Lake Tahoe over the 4th of July with all of R's extended family that we missed. They sent us t-shirts to feel included (because let's be honest and admit that we were really sad to not be with everyone), and we wore them to run in today.
The masses. Over 17,500 participants, which set a new record for our city. We were in the middle of the crowd and this was what was in front of us. Holy moly.
This was almost ten minutes after the whistle blew for the race to begin. We were still standing still, so we grabbed another picture.
Yahoo! We made it to the finish line! They had a couple decked-out, pink excavators there that we had to explore for the sake of L's obsession.
We run for you, Nonnie and PopPop!! Love you!!
