Race for the Cure

So I thought I'd share some of the things that I've been doing when I wasn't blogging. Every year, the Saturday before Mother's Day, they hold the Race for the Cure in Salt Lake. It raises money for breast cancer research. Mom Burt is a four-year breast cancer survivor, so we have made it a family tradition to participate every year. This year there were more than 16,000 people officially running in the race and a large number of others also (including kids, etc.). This was our race team: Nate, Ryan, my nephews Austin and Adam, and me. We all walked the 5K. (Most of the family ran the 5K.)


There were a LOT of people there:


We finished the race in 55 minutes. We would have finished it sooner, but Austin and Adam started getting really tired (or bored), so we had to help drag them along; Nate even gave them piggyback rides for part of the race. At the end, Mom walked in the March of the Survivors:

And Ryan cheered her on!
