American Cancer Society

Flashback!

In the midst of my second month of bootcamp, I decided I wanted to run the American Cancer Society 5K Race for the Cure. Granted, the name wasn't as awesome or long as the "1st Annual Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-AM Fun-Run Race for the Cure", but it was still for a good cause...

Especially since both Grandmas have cancer right now.

I had anticipated doing it by myself, but somehow managed to get my mom and dad to come to Ames just to run the 5K with me! We had a great time, I finished with a time that was roughly 6 minutes faster than the first 5K I ran in May!! Astonishing!!

Mom loves running so much, she sweats back smiles!



Post-race bliss :)

Shame is...

seeing your bootcamp instructor from a few months ago and having to ask him to open a 20 oz bottle of soda because you can't get the cap unscrewed.

The whole thing was wrong in so many ways.
