Susan G. Koman 5K

Last Saturday we ran the Susan G. Koman 5K in Kansas City. This race hadn't been on the calendar until we received an email from Ford offering to pay our entry. Well...how do you pass that up? Along with the race entry, we received the regular race t-shirt and another t-shirt designed by Ford that we all wore race day. We were the Ford Warriors.


We signed up for chip timing, but at packet pickup, things were a bit discombobulated, which was no biggie, but we didn't end up with our chips. So we ran the 5K fun run, which was way fine in the end as I'm glad my time wasn't recorded. This course was hilly. Crammed packed from start to finish. And a ton of fun. They had 27,000 plus participants. For a 5K! It was crazy, but a total blast.

I was signed up to run the Martini Mile yesterday with my girlfriends, but had to cancel. One of our neighbor's passed away and his visitation was last night. Richard was the owner of Molly's friend, Harley. It's sad that Molly's friend isn't across the street anymore to play with. Richard willed Harley to a friend, otherwise we would have become one dog richer.

  3. So sorry to hear about your neighbor passing. 27,000 is a ton for a 5k! It must have been super packed!

  4. race for the cure is always way crowded for a 5k, but such a good cause. they're tough to get competitive in b/c of the crowd and fact that the committee isn't geared towards runners in that sense. not the end of the world as they are trying to raise money and awareness...

    how did you manage the sweet sponsorship? :)
