Brenda Ladun Conquer Cancer Run

 

 

The wonderful Grace Thompson is my race buddy John's mother. She is also a breast cancer survivor. In her honor John and I have formed the team Running for Grace.  If you are free Saturday, March 1st at 8:00 am, we would love to have you run, jog, walk, push a stroller, pull a wagon, just get out an move with us. We had a the best time at the Krispy Kreme Doughnut Dash - as did MiniLi and MiniLu, so we figured the more the merrier!!  Come have fun with us and support a great cause at the same time. (And even if you can't make it or this isn't your thing, you can still donate through the Running for Grace hyperlink.) We hope to see you there!!

Confirmation

This morning, while I am getting dressed, MiniLu says to me, "You going running Mama? A race? I want to run too" Very soon, little one. Very soon!

Lesson Learned - Never Run With Your Pants On Inside Out

My mornings are chaotic as I'm sure are everyone else's. We wake up, Mr. May gets ready for work and I dress the girls, fix snacks, fix hair, find shoes, etc. After I kiss them all good-bye, I have a finite time I can run before I have to come home, shower, dress, and get to work.
This morning, when I was getting out of the car to run, I noticed I had my running pants on inside out. I love these pants because they have a hidden "key" pocket on the inside. And after today, I completely understand why the pocket is ON THE INSIDE! When the pocket is on the outside - the key can work it's way loose and fall out - somewhere on the trail.
So, my morning consisted of:
 A very chilly run (37 degrees)
The realization that I didn't have the key to the car when I was finished
Walking back most of my path looking for the key
A call to my mother (whom I woke up) to please come bring me the spare key from her house
My mother arriving - without the key (I did say I woke her up)
A trip back to Mama's for the key
A drive to the hardware store for a new key (Computer Chipped car keys cost $75.00 to replace FYI)
Posting handwritten signs on both ends of the trail "LOST - Ford Car Key - If found please contact  . . .)
So, if you find a car key on Lakeshore, please let me know and also - NEVER RUN WITH YOUR PANTS ON INSIDE OUT!
