Run in the Rain

Yesterday our family participated in the CIBC Run for the Cure. It was actually quite a neat experience. Marc has been apart of this for the last three years but we finally decided that the whole family should participate. Nice year to start. I don't think I have seen rain like I did yesterday in quite a long time. Here are some pics before we got wet.I am not one to run but I have to tell you the rain was a motivating factor. Half way through I said "to heck with the umbrella" and Ben and I took off together in the rain. When I pulled him out of the stroller at the finish line I discovered he had been sitting in a big puddle. And here I thought I was keeping him dry. Oh well!
I kept thinking about what we were doing and that was the biggest motivation. My family has a history of cancer and my grandmother actually died of breast cancer so I hope that within my lifetime we can see a cure. It's really neat to see the kids asking questions and really getting into the event as well.
Another neat thing was that I actually won a door prize and I never win anything. All in all, it was a pretty neat day...rain and all.
Notice there are no pics of after the race...too tired and too wet.
