Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure

Last Saturday, October 4th, over 30,000+ people showed up in downtown Houston at 7 a.m. to participate in the Susan Komen Race for the Cure.  The weather was perfect and it was great seeing the number of participants for this wonderful cause for breast cancer support.

I ran with a group of friends down Allen Parkway 3.1 miles to be exact.  It was a great race as there were thousands of supporters lining the streets cheering us on.  What is so special about this race are the number of survivors who are out participating.  You can recognize them by their pink survivor shirts.  Also, there are pink forms that you can write a person you are running for in memory of that person or in celebration of a survivor.  Most everyone had a pink form pinned to their back with names on them.  I ran in celebration of my co-worker Dixie Estep who is a breast cancer survivor.

Of course I am feeling the lactic acid build up still today in my legs but it was worth it.  So many of us have been touched by a friend, co-worker or family member affected by the ravages of breast cancer.  How great it was seeing so many thousands of people out doing something healthy and positive.  I am sure that I will be out there again next year too!
