Run for the Cure
We headed out to Burlington this morning so I could participate in the 2008 CIBC Run for the Cure. I didn't sleep at all last night and to be honest I was really dreading the run. I've had some stomach/gallbladder/reflux/breathing issues lately and will be going for some tests this month and so I haven't been running as much lately. I wasn't exactly sure how I was going to complete the run today and assumed I would walk a large portion of it. However, once we started, it wasn't so bad. Before I knew it we were at the 3k mark. Once I hit the 4k mark, I knew I was in the home stretch. It all went by really fast and I actually felt really good. I completed it in just over 30 minutes (which is two minutes faster than last year even). Not sure how that happened but perhaps it was the cute cheering section. I love it when I run by the kids and their little hands are out ready to give me a high five. It just gives me that extra burst of energy I need to finish the race.

Hey Karen
You are amazing girl!!! How do you do all that you do?? Nice to hear that you were inspired about Ethiopia at the fund raiser. I met some Ethiopians while in Africa and they are very special people. Your new child will be blessed!!! Our prayers are with you while you wait.
Way to go Karen! It's cute to see how the kids had their own races in the afternoon too!
