The Livestrong Results are in

Thank you to ALL who took part in some way to support the Livestrong Challenge. I am so proud of everyone who prayed for the event, gave $ and ran. It was such a rewarding process. After Erinn and I took part in the race last year we decided we wanted to improve on our amount of $ raised and our speed of running for this year. We were able to do both! Our team raised over $2000 for the Livestrong foundation and Erinn and I ran the 5 K in 26:33 minutes (8:34 per mile). Here are some pics from the day...she is cute huh?

Get ready...for those of you who don't know Lance Armstrong is one of my hero's (not so much the way he handles his relationships, but as an athlete and cancer survivor). I have to give Erinn huge credit for standing by my side as I pretty much stalked Lance all day.

You may wonder why I am taking a picture of a tent but if you look really close you can see Lance riding up the hill as he got ready to address the croud. Here are some where you can actually see what you are looking at...


I think this next one is my favorite picture from the day. The little girl was so cute and just happy to be there...

There were options to ride 10, 40, 70 or 100 miles in additon to the run. We are thinking of riding next year. Here is the bike group just befor they headed out.

Those bands are for my chemo pal Nick. We wanted him to be there with us but he was home for a few weeks.

Erinn just ripping it up on the course.

We made it all the way around. It was an awesome sense of accomplishment...it was not an awesome smell.

After the race we showered and came back and listened to Lance give a final speech. In this pic you an really see some of my paparazzi skills coming forth. I could probably sell this one to US Weekly if I made up some story...

He had some pretty powerful things to say to the crowd and overall the day was such a great reminder for me as to just how great my life is and just how lucky I am to be here living it. I thank GOD for all he has given me and I do not want to waste a minute of my life. Again thank you all for your support along the way and we encourage y'all to run or ride it with us next year!
