Run Like a Mother

What a blessing! The 2010 Run Like a Mother event had a great turn-out. Over 200 people! And the proceeds all went to the Rhodes family who lost their son last week. It was awesome to be a part of this great event in our own Community!


My friends and I knew the parking would be horrible...so we had the 'brilliant idea' to walk from my house to the event (almost 2 miles), then after we arrived, we mingled and walked around for 45 minutes before the event started. Then 2 miles run/walk for the event. Then another 45 minutes of mingling/walking around...then the 2 miles trek back to my house! Whew! Those hills about killed my legs!

Saw so many sweet friends and cousins and loved visiting with them! Here I am chatting with my cousin Nikki! And below are cousins Lacy & Shelly. Great to visit with family at these events!

I was thinking to myself that next year we will drive over to do the event...then I saw pictures of myself and decided I needed the extra miles! I hate pictures of myself! But I'm posting anyway for motivation!

You go girl! Great job!

I hated to hear about the little Rhodes boy. I don't think I know his family? Are they from Diana? Would I know them?
