Race for the Cure

Since there isn't anything to tell on the wedding front at the moment, I thought I'd switch gears.

Lately, it seems people have been slapped with the running bug. My friends are frenzied. That being said, last weekend, Billy and Huan decided, on a whim, to run the 5k Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in support of breast cancer awareness. Guess who got to play cheerleader?

So I got my butt up at 6:30 Saturday morning to go cheer them on and take pictures, because it was definitely for a good cause. Just fyi--- there were 11,000 people at the event this year.

Stretching before the race

More stretching... the whole crowd was stretching


About ten seconds from the finish line!

The finish line

Billy and *Bertie* ran a half marathon and marathon, respectively, only one week before the 5k. And the week before that, Billy and Cindy ran a 10k.


The running craze has left me feeling like the lazy bum in the group. To remedy this, I too have started running. It is a struggle, because I do NOT like running. I get cramps in my sides and shoulders and turn a rather splotchy pinkish color. But, it's good for me, no? So I have started running a mile a day.

As this blog has become a sort of catch-all for my thoughts, I've decided to add my fitness activities to the list of things you get to read about when visiting (lucky YOU). I will incorporate my health and fitness endeavors as sort of a sidebar to the wedding planning--- after all, exercising releases stress. Plus, if you are ever asked to be a bridesmaid or the maid of honor or even a groomsman, guys, don't you want to look good standing at the alter?

So maybe the theme for this part of the blog can be: looking good and feeling good in the dress/tux
