We did it again, second year in a row!! Our team this year, the "Get it Girl's" braved the chill and misting rain to walk (run when we could) the 5K (3.1 miles) Susan G. Komen 2011 "Race for the Cure" at Greenhill Park in Salem.
When we first got there, we mingled around all the free gift tables, and even got a mini Starbucks coffee and whipped chocolate Yoplait yogurt. Kroger gave us free pink glittery lip gloss, and a black headband. Ford Motor Co. was giving out free Women Warrior scarves, which Sylvia decided to wear like an ascot to keep her neck warm. WDBJ 7 gave us free pink rubbery bracelets, and provided some "warm-up" jams to keep us moving until the race began.
I wasn't as in shape this year as last year, but I still ran when I could. More than anything, I was just happy to be a part of the cause of raising money for breast cancer awareness.
Besides, there's always next year!!
It was so fun and soooo cold. I had a great time and knowing I was doing this for a great cause made it even better!! Glad we could finish together!
