as many of you already know, every year i participate in the race for the cure. this year was no exception and on sunday, meghan and i did the race along with about a trillion other new yorkers. there were so many people there! it was great to see such great participation.
the course took us from 77th st and central park west up to the 90s and then through the park and back over to our finish line at 72nd and fifth avenue. it was beautiful running through the park! i need to do that more often... i wish i was a good runner... i'd love to be a runner... that's my new goal along with everything else that i'm trying to do this fall!
in any case, meghan and i made decent time and afterwards we strolled along the park and the various booths set up for handing things out as well as selling stuff. and dang! i just realized the pin i bought... i accidentally threw it away!! dangit!!! that was so dumb of me!!! arghhh. i like to collect pins - they are small and easy to display on my bulletin board and they don't take up a lot of room. but dang, as i write this, i realize that i threw out the bag of free stuff i picked up and also the pin i spent 4 dollars on. man, i'm not going to lie... i am seriously bummed about this! oh well... anyways... moving on....
after we meandered thru the booths, we hopped on the 6th train at 68th and lex and then switched over to the L train to go to the bedford stop in order to have brunch with our very pregnant friend, jessica. she is 9 months pregnant with a due date in about 10 days i think! she is having a little boy and she looks so amazing. after that i headed home for a much needed shower and then it was the mundane things sundays are made for: laundry, pedicure, some waxing, and tv!

The OC Komen race is coming up in 2 weeks. It is only 5k around Fashion Island. I did it last year with Scott's mom and am doing it again this year. I don't have anything set up to donate (we do it through the Ralph's team since that is who Scott's mom works for). Its a fun day for a good cause!
maybe that's why I thought it hadn't happened yet... (Holly, I'm using that as my excuse.) next trip down the stairs (not easy) I promise to grab my credit card and go to your website.
again, i'm dumb. sorry!
i've done the sacramento race for the cure, but not chicaggers...i will have to look into it!
