Hello everyone.. I have a brief moment to update so I will get right to the point!
Last Saturday John and I did the Ride for the cure (in support of fighting breast cancer). The girls and I did the 5k (running only a bit of it) but John actually rode for 50 miles! yes, 50 on his bike! WOW... Very impressive considering he hasn't ridden in a while! We also had a competition on Facebook to raise money for this cause. We are/were a part of a team for this event and John decided to see how much money he could raise to help do our part. He posted on Facebook about it and got some donations from friends. One of his friends donated to me because I was not raising any money and that got under John's skin but turned on my competition mode! the game was on.. and was really on when my donations started coming in and John tells me that people are only donating for me because I have had cancer. (in a joking manor of course) anyway, long story shortened. We raised $305 for me and $255 for John, which put our team over the top for the entire event and exceeded our personal and team goals!! we were/are very proud... Because of this we have signed up for another 5K in two weeks, I think this one is for Autism but I am not sure.
In light of our next run, I just got back from running 3 miles. I actually ran the whole 3 miles! YEAH ME.... I am very excited about this and might get motivated to run more when John is home to keep the girls!
Ok.. Addison is up and Annabelle is wanting to read so I need to go.. here are a few photos for you from the Cancer ride.
Love to you all,
Carolyn
