the race is on

Because two chins dimples and rolls

don't look as good on me

as on him

Because I am celebrating 10 years

of post cancer survival.

Because I know so many strong

women

who have fought

and won.

Because big guy is full of energy

and as I ran the track

I got passed by a  80 year old woman.

My big guy and I are beginning our

training

I will run the timed 5k

and big guy

his very first

50 yard dash.

He can't wait.

"Run Mommy, run!!"

I so vividly remember my first 50 yard dash.

My dad took me outside to train

for my first field day.

He asked me if I knew how far 50 yards was?

Me, always being such a critical thinker......

looked into the front yard

measuring side to side (that is one "Yard", right?)

"50 houses, dad".

I think my dad still laughs at this today.

We have been trying to stay cool

taking some breaks,

but have also been preparing

mentally and physically.

And not forgetting

the good cause

we are supporting.

I don't usually ask for money.

Except for this once.
