Do we ever stop??
Friday night- Relay For Life with our Kiwanis Uptown Folks- SO much fun! Mikey walked 5 hours before I could pull him off of the track ... slept for a few, then walked 4 more... that man is a tank! He walked 1 hour for each person he knew currently fighting, who already fought, and those we've lost. It was emotional for sure.
I walked about 2 with him in the beginning, then went to the store, took a nap and got back to it, walking 2:30-7:30 am, when I stopped to break down the tent and pack up (after all we had to go to the NASCAR All Star Race with our AppState friends)
I figure we both walked at least a marathon (3-4 miles/hour for 8-9 hours)... Mikey definitely had me beat though.
After closing ceremonies we pledged to save at least one person each this year... so go get checked! Wear sunscreen, have your mammograms, do self exams, quit smoking... the earlier we catch it, the better our chances are of fighting it!!

Home to sleep for a few hours, and it is off to the NASCAR AllStar Race we go! We got a smokin' deal on tickets through ASU and met up with about 30 other Alumni out at the track for a pre-race tailgate and party. So fun!
Kasey Kahne won (he's about our age, and adorable) Go Kasey! (this is not Kasey Kahne, this is Wally Brown, Mike's buddy from high school)
Sunday, we slept... our bodies are still not on a "normal schedule"... we are just so thankful to be surrounded by such great people.
