Race for the Cure 2010

Race for the cure 2010. Our family looks forward to this day every year. Its one of the only other days , other than Christmas, that we know almost every family member will be present. We walk in honor and remembrance of every man and woman ever affected by this disease. Primarily we walk in remembrance of my aunt Gayla Mitchell. (I will post more pictures as I receive them via email, don't know how to post off of FB)
This is a shot of all of the survivors awaiting the Survivor Parade.
Very moving to see so many women in one spot that all have the same thing in common,
they have survived!
This is just a few of our group. We had LOTS of strollers this year, since all of us "young ones" have had babies!
This was my first 5k to run. I've been jogging with my neighbor Courtney, trying to prepair for this particular race for about 2 months. She insisted we join the elite racers, and I obviously did not belong there! But that's ok. I now know what I need to work on. And this made it all worth while.
My sweet baby girl holding her arms out, so excited to see "mamama".
After the race we always head to Senior Tequila. Not sure how that tradition started, But alls I gotta say, NOT a good idea to indulge on chicken and bean nachos after running a race. Bad things happen. Bonus: I was really hot so the waiter decide to spill a glass of ice water on my lap :)

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
