Relay For Life

As if going to Compton was NOT enough, (Click Here to read that post) I signed up to do Relay for Life with my sister. We had initially signed up to do the 4-7 pm shift....which made for a long day, so my brother in law saved us and took half of the shift. Since we are all training for our 1/2 marathon, it was nice to get out and run.

So, I quickly came home from Compton, showered...(I was FILTHY!!!!) and got ready to head over to the local high school and get ready to run. So, we loaded up the kiddos and jumped in the car....only to realize it would not start, as you see proof below.

Dead Battery! And my brother in law was out already "relaying" so my sis and I were stuck jumping the car. So only after I had to push it out of the garage..... We jump started it.

AHHHHH! SO ANNOYED

"Eh, we will figure it out!" And well, we did.

A little bit late, but we made it. Sage and Macy made it around the track once and left with daddy while Heather and I relayed.

Here we are with our baton getting ready to walk/run around the track. (Pardon the "Snookie" hair. It was wet from showering off after Compton...and quite frankly, I really did not care what I looked like at that point.)

Here we are ready to start.

Ok Ok, if you have ever done "Relay for Life" it is not technically a race, or a relay for that matter, but Heather and I meant business! *wink*

Since we signed up for an hour, we decided to run a lap, walk a lap and so on and so forth. We ultimately finished 4 miles.

Along the way, we stopped at the booths, bought raffle tickets and chatted with people.

When we finished our alotted time, we were both STARVING. (Not like we burned a ton of calories, we were just ready to eat.) We went to Chili's, ate our little hearts out and headed home.

Right when we got home, Heather got a phone call that she has won one of the raffles...a manicure, and Heather got a text from a friend saying that I WON a month of dance classes! I am so STOKED! I am going to call them because I have always wanted to take ballet, so we shall see if they offer those classes for adults. If not, Macy is going to be one happy dancing girl :)

So that ended my happy and busy Saturday.
