We Rocked The City!

We were up at 4:30 a.m. and The Captain was driving us to The City by 4:50. This year's race was set up so much better than the past...each corral, with your specific time per mile was entered at a different street...and once in the corral there were port-o-potties. This made for less of a wait for the potties. Then about a minute was added between letting the corrals start the run...we still had to dodge walkers (who think rules don't apply to them,) and much slower runners. 30,000 participants with 306 Legacy Runners...those are participants who have RUN all 10 year's events!

That's not an orange mustache but the straw :)

We bought some funny hair spirals that light up at CVS and wore them in the run...Ali's was purple for TNT and mine was green and purple...and the back of my tank top said, "MOM OF A CHILDHOOD leukemia SURVIVOR." (Terry, Julianna Banana's dad taught me that you never give cancer the power of capital letters.) 

We rocked the run- well, The Teacher dragged my butt the entire way and could have beaten me handsomely but she chose to run with her mom...which made me go faster- oh those hills! But at the end, a tuxedoed fireman awaits with a silver tray full of Tiffany boxes...holding the coveted necklace.....

 Pretty cool!
And all the proceeds go to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society...so one day soon

all children with leukemia can stand by this sign!
