65,000 Race for the Cure!

Just to give you an idea of the masses...this is an on-ramp to I-25 in downtown Denver FILLED with people and they just kept coming! There were 65,000 walkers today. They raised $57 million today alone. Total Susan Komen has raised over $1,000,000,000 for breast cancer research! Rock on! (They have a fabulous marketing department that I just marvel at as a degreed marketing person)

This was a nice view of downtown Denver- the Broncos' stadium is on the right. They played today and won! (The Colts also staged a strong comeback today- we are proudly displaying our garden flag!)

Just another photo of the masses

And one more photo to show that there were people everywhere!

Crowds are totally not my thing (I contribute this to my paternal genes since we all know Deb doesn't meet a stranger) and I was having a bit of a panic problem at first. Jackson was able to calm me down and keep people from bumping into me pretty well. I hate when people bump into me! Arg! Anyway, we got there late (do not get me started on parking in downtown Denver-GRR) so we had to park like 1.5 miles away. Yep, 1.5 miles just to walk 3.1 miles! Crazy! We booked it to catch up with Meg for a little bit. She did so well! She's a champ! We then hurried to finish as we were starving and ready for breakfast. We went to Cracker Barrel since we were half way there already. ;) It was so yummy and full of other racers! I guess we all worked up an appetite! We had a really nice time and plan to participate in the spring when they have a dog walk! MacKenzie would love it!

We're finally feeling better so I had to clean the house today to rid it of germs. (This is a process that Jackson just does not understand!) Everything looks good and we're almost healed. Praise the Lord! We're very fortunate that a nasty cold is as sick as we've been in a long time.
