We then decked ourselves out in our pink gear and waited for Al & EP and my darlin' friend Casey to meet us at the condo. Once they arrived we piled into a car, drove down the street and got ready to kick breast cancer in the booty!
I was completely shocked by the amount of people there! I heard on the news that they had over $41,000 people sign up. Which yea, sounds like a lot until you see them all on one street - holy tata's!
(Stole Borrowed these photos from Casey's facebook!)

On our path we passed the Indianapolis Zoo, and they had one of their elephants standing on the hill with big pink ribbons painted on her ear - so cute!
We spent a large part of the 3 miles chatting and enjoying the sunshine (thank goodness it didn't rain!). We've come up with some awesome team names for next year, and we're planning on getting a larger group together to do it! I had such a sense of community and pride when we looped around back to the finish line! My least favorite part was seeing the children and teens with the "In Loving Memory of My Mom" signs on their shirts, that just broke my heart, but it gave me an even bigger push to volunteer again next year and try to raise even more money in the fight against breast cancer!
That's one more thing I get to cross off my 23 Before 23 list! (Did you notice my new button the right side, fancy huh?)

Great job, what a great race to be a part of!
I'm so glad you got to experience this. I do our local one every year. It's for such a great cause and it holds a special place in my heart because my grandma passed away from breast cancer.
hooray for crossing something off the list! and such a worthwhile something, at that.
