Run update

I can breath a little easier these days since the race was on Sunday.  It was a beautiful day and everything came together in time.  We had insurance, t-shirts looked great and about 80 people registered the day of the race.  This gave us a total of 204.  We had about thirty volunteers doing all sorts of things to make sure all ran smoothly.  And in the end we raised just over $2,000. after all the bills were paid. 

I am humbled to say the least at how well things turned out.  This was the first year and it was a lot of work.  It was amazing to see all the family, friends and complete strangers who came out to support the cause of life.  It was not perfect, but what man made invention is?  There is plenty of room for improvement.  But for the most part surveys indicated that participants were very satisfied with the overall experience and that they would come back next year, many said they would bring more people with them. 

I think that in the back of my mind I thought that once the race was over I could relax a little.  I have slowed down, but there is still some work to be done to get all my ducks in a row for this year, and then we could start to plan for next year.  I am hoping that next year will be a little less labor intensive.  Some things can be used again and there by increase the money raised for the pregnancy help centers.  I also need to write a huge stack of thank you to all those who worked so hard to help me make this dream a reality.

Hopefully I will get some pictures posted soon.  Next big event is the auction to raise money for my daughter's school in three weeks.  Followed by the baby in four.  And some where in there the hubby and I are supposed to go on this business trip to the Dells.  Let's hope I don't have a baby there.
