Project 40 (the race participants)

Today we did project 40; it was the Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure to help raise money for Breast cancer research as well as awareness. There were about 13,000 people walking, running, and volunteering. Lacy and I (Morgan Jordan) ran the 5k in 29 min.s, but the amazing, spectacular Preston Earnest ran it in 22 min.s. Beforehand, we made plans to meet after the race at the pink fountain in the middle of the park. However, Ellen Anne got a craving for some cotton candy, and disappeared... FOR THIRTY MINUTES. We finally wandered around and found her in the cotton candy line, and she just said, "what? i wanted some cotton candy?" It was funny. So then we gathered around for a group photo, and headed back home. It was awesome to get to race in honor of people like Lori's mom who is a survivor of breast cancer. All in all it was a great day filled with lots of pink.

The runners/ walkers were Lacy Allen, Courtney Jordan, Alex Jordan, Jamie Jordan, Lori McKenzie, Ellen Anne Bentley, Janice Bentley, Whitney Emery, Cayla Crabb, Kelsey Dewberry, and Erica Hesse.

I have no stake in this conversation, but I believe Ellen Anne. I've seen Lacy play Mafia, and she's totally bluffing!
