Love Strides 08



Our first "making strides" event in SF came off beautifully. It was cold but the 5 miles warmed us up. Some of us (especially the boys!) were reluctant to move from a 5k to 5 miles but we finished in record time.  The Miller girls and Charlie all did really well - Charlie slept the whole time which was a relief because he's been having more tummy problems. We talked for most of the walk when we weren't trying to coordinate a group merge to overtake slower walkers. The park has a lot of great memories for Jose and I - crazy double biking at stow lake, Jose playing soccer with the  Olympic club at the polo fields....  It wasn't until the finish line that I became overwhelmed with tears and the purpose of the walk - to show our team stand against breast cancer and to honor our Mimi.  I feel so blessed that God has given us "extra" time with our angel on earth.  We love you Mimi.

SF volunteers have spirit :-)
On the road...
Two roads diverged into a wood...(shout out to Frost) there was the 1mi shortcut or the path to the beach...I heart ocean beach.

The buffalo in the park were far from the fence...it was too early for them
