Walk for Hope 2010

This is my very first 5k. I have been wanting to walk a 5K for a really long time. But I never felt that i would be able to. An 5K is 3.1 miles. We walked it in a crowd of people in one hour and nine minutes. It wasn't a bad time. I hope next 5K we do, we can be at the front of the line so we can walk faster. =)


See i took a photo to prove it *L* There were so many people there that it took us 3 minutes to get out of the starting line *L*

Before the walk, we just spent time hanging out on the grass. There is a photo of Joel and David playing.

This is my new friend Patty and her daughter Hazel. Patty and Hazel walked with us. Patty is awesome and lots of fun to be around.

This was us before the walk. I love this family photo.

Here we are kicking some butt. Putting down the foot to the paved way.

This is David and Isaac. On the way back Isaac wanted out. So, his daddy (being the awesome dad he is) took him for a shoulder ride. He loved it.

Our next 5K is going be in December 2010. Its called Jiggle Bells. Wish us luck.

This walk meant a lot to me in different ways.

First, this walk made me think of my grandma and my cousin and a friend/acquaintance who has died/or had cancer. I thought of you all on this day. I was glad and happy that i could walk on this day to raise money for cancer and perhaps make a little change in this world for anyone who has had or has cancer.

Second, this is a major health milestone for me. Because, over a year ago there was no way in hell you see my ass walking 3.1 miles *hahahahaha*

Third, I like to thank my loving and supportive husband for helping me get there. I also like to thank my family and friends for your support also. Especially, Starr Date and Chris Date. Starr without you, i don't think i would ever made it to the gym for that 1st time. Also, Thank you Patty for walking with me and your encouragement that we can do this. Last, like to thank my boys. (Joel and Isaac) For giving me such a wonderful reason to push my self that much further!!
