Today June 13th, we ran in the Race for the Cure for Breast Cancer in Raleigh.
We ran in celebration of my cousin Arlene Walsleben who won the battle and lives strong today. Her name is on the pink bib Anna is wearing,
We thank everyone who sponsored us in the race. The proceeds go to continue the fight to find a cure. Over 22,000 people entered the event today.
There were a variety of races over the course of the morning and we ran in the competitive 5K race at 7am. Our times were not too bad even though it was hot! We ran side by side so our time was 33 minutes and 23 seconds. Anna came in 18th out of 40 in her age group (Female 55-59) and Myron came in 9th out of 10 in his age group (male 65-69). He would have run faster if I didn't slow him down :-)!!For the rest of the day we can hang out at the pool!!!
Hope you enjoy the pix! The headbands are from Japan and are translated as "divine wind". We needed wind at our backs!
Love you all,
Anna and Myron
