Day 56: Humbled.

Well, we had a phenomenal day yesterday.  We were able to jog/walk the Komen Race for the Cure 5K and finished between 50-55 minutes.  We spent a lot of the race in a huge queue, so I am just glad that we finished.  I cried for much of the race.  I have never been so inspired.

First, as we ran under the starting line, we were met with a row of Harley's revving their engines and creating a tunnel to start the race.  The guys were wearing pink shirts and had dyed facial hair. 

HUMBLING.

Once we got past this incredible tunnel, I looked up to read an "in memory" tag hanging on the back of a girls shirt.  It read:

In memory of my MOM.  Today is her birthday.

WOW.

They had music playing along the route and one of the entertainers was playing Sweet Caroline.  He was on a keyboard and playing his heart out.  We were singing and having fun.  As we got closer, he had a poster that read:  In honor of my sweat heart, she has been gone 6 years.

In AWE.

Finally, as you crossed the finish line, you could hear a woman shouting: six years (cheers), 14 years (cheers)...

I had to investigate.  As breast cancer survivors crossed the finish line, they were met with a flower, a metal and the opportunity to share their amount of time cancer free. The months/years were then shared with the crowd.

RESPECT.

After leaving the race, we went to the German Village Coffee House and had omelets.  We then browsed the Village Valuables sales.  We ended our day in Columbus by looking at Harley's at AD Farrow.

So, for today, I thank God for my health.  I realize that it is a precious gift.

Love and SPARK BABY!  Kris
