Race for the Cure

This morning... at 7:30 Danielle and I went to downtown St. Louis to be a part of the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. We were on a team sponsered by a local country music station! TEAM BREADHEAD!! haha Funny name huh? Anyway we were given bright yellow shirts that respresented our team and the front of them said "FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!" :) Very clever!

This is us right before the race started. The weather was perfect.. a little humid with a light breeze to cool us down!
There were over 64,000 people there this morning.... this was infront of us once the race started! I don't know how well you can see it, but the ENTIRE street was so full of people... the sea of white/pink all the way up the road as far as you can see are people! CRAZY!

And this was behind us.. we were probably in the middle, but who really knows! I was amazing though!
It was a very pretty sight when we got close to the finish line.. picture perfect! The camera does not do it justice!Here it is.. the famous pink balloon finish line!




Us at the finish line!!!


"Buddies Saving Boobies!" :)
After the race, while we waited for Joel to come pick us up (we didn't want to deal with parking), we stopped at this SOOO cute and super chic little cafe called Crepes in the City. The food looked amazing!!! But pricey.. so we shared a yummy Pina Colado smoothie! Very rich but good!



MMMM!!

All in all it was an amazing experience to be part of such great cause! Unlike most people there we didn't have close relatives who had lost their lives to breast cancer, but we wanted to be there to show our support in finding a cure for us, our kids, and grandkids! And of course it's fun to be in the middle of the city with thousands of people! Fun memory I will always remember! Thanks for coming with me Danielle!
