Running For A Cause

Over the last few years, I have found that the only thing better than running, is running for a cause. Last Saturday, some friends and I were invited by our friends at Studio 5 to run the Susan B. Komen Race For The Cure 5K with them, in Salt Lake. It was such a sight: 20,000 people filled the streets of downtown, and there were thousands more lined up in support of those running and walking.
Many people wore the names of those close to them that have been victims or survivors of breast cancer, and many walked and ran as survivors themselves. I was overwhelmed with the feelings of love and admiration for all of those people-most of whom I've never met. People from all over the country, from all walks of life. Yet, there we all were, united in one thing-support in finding a cure for cancer. If you have never been a part of a race that supports a cause, then I encourage you to do so. It is such an awesome experience.
