We Raced, We Hope for a Cure

On Saturday my friend, Annie, and I went to the Race for the Cure event in Dallas. It was simply amazing. Once we parked, it was a quick walk to the starting line and we were off! (along with 26,000 of our closest friends in pink)

The weather was absolutely beautiful. The race was packed, but everyone was respectful and patient with crowds and traffic.

The turn out was humbling. An estimated 26,000 participants for the same cause. All of us just because it's important but some wearing survivor shirts, some walking in celebration of a survivor, and others in remembrance.

The group we paced with consisted of mostly women participants. However it was so touching to see so many men in pink supporting wives, girlfriends, mothers, etc.

Race for the Cure

On my list of 30 things, I put a goal to run an entire 5k. I had planned to try to run the whole Race for the Cure 5k, but since it's so close to LASIK I'm not allowed. (I actually have a doctor's excuse to not sweat! woo hoo!)

However, since the cause is so important, I'm still going to participant by walking. I even bought pink walking shoes!

If you'd like to walk, you can register up until day of the event. (Oct 16) If you don't want to walk/run, you can "sleep in for the cure." It's the option for those who flinch at exercise at 8am on a Saturday.

If you don't want to do any of those but you'd still like to give toward the cause, you can donate on my page. I'm really not pressing hard for fundraising but I'm putting my page out there just in case.

LASIK...round 2

It's hard to believe is almost been 3 months, but enough time has passed that I can have touch up LASIK! I go in for surgery on Thursday, October 14. This time it has to work....well, because it just has to! (Mostly because I only paid for 1 other touch up and the thought of intentionally putting a laser in my eye more than twice just seems silly)

So here's to perfect vision!

(Um....keep your fingers crossed just in case...)
