2010-05 Race for the Cure

As we do most Mother's Days, we walked in the Breast Cancer Race for the Cure fundraiser at the Mall of America in Bloomington.  More than 50,000 people walked and ran in the various events.  The weather was nearly perfect.  Although it was mid-30's when the run started, the sun was out and there was no wind.  By the time the walk started, it was in the mid-40's.  This time of year, we'ver ranged from cold and windy to warm and sunny.

Hailey and her friend Mikhaela got up early and ran in the 5k run.  They were in the spirit of wearing pink and shared a pair tall pink socks.  They also joined in on the 5k walk later on. 

Our walkers ranged in age from 1 to over 80, and everyone was able to keep pace.  After the walk, we had invited everyone over to the house for hot dogs, hamburgers, brats and chicken on the grill.
