Breast Cancer

I woke up this morning early to attend a “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” Event. Those of you that know me know what an advocate I am for this important cause. I’ve always wanted to do one of those 3 day breast cancer walks, but I’ve never been physically able since my accident. Today is the start to that dream though. Since my accident I’ve had to stick to in gym work outs and physical therapy, but today was my first 5k since the accident. Which I LOVED! Man I forgot how much I love these! Being out side on trails and in parks… where ever the course is, is so much better then being inside on a treadmill. And having lots of people around you during the event just pumps you up more and causes you to push yourself harder. Ok I have to admit that I wasn’t able to run this 5k, it was more of a walk-jog, but hey it’s the start to me getting back to that point where I can run them again. Man I don’t know what it is about running outside that feeds your soul, but I am addicted to it and I had forgotten what it was like. So these pictures aren’t the best of me because well it was raining and well who where’s makeup when they are doing stuff like this ha ha ha… nice excuse right ha ha ha.
