"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -Steve Prefontaine

Run for the Cure 2012

So earlier today I was involved in Run for the Cure 2012. 

It was really intense emotionally and there was over 1,800 people there.  I didn't run as fast as I would have liked but there was just too many people to really go at a faster pace.  I ended up staying with a lady that I run with sometimes who is a survivor and two others from my running club.  We set a decent pace of 10 and 1's X however many till we finished (that's running for 10 minutes and walking a minute).  I think it took us an hour, which is longer than it should have but with the amount of people there going faster and staying with the group just wasn't feasible for me.  But that's okay.  At the end of the day I can still say that I ran in the race and that I completed 5km (3.1 miles). 

The group that I ran with was called "Breast Foot Forward".  Altogether we raised over $11,000.00

Except if I'm being honest I didn't really fund raise at all. Maybe next year I will get my act together.
