Sea of Pink

Last year I realized my love of 5K’s, and this last weekend kicked off my participation in them again this year starting off with the Komen Race for the Cure (6/6). Last year’s Race for the Cure took place down at Qwest Field along the viaduct; this year’s however was at the Seattle Center and took us along a route on 2nd Ave which gave some great views of the market and the sound. Participating with me were a couple Sweet Melon team members (Rachel, Melanie, & Katie, as well as Katie’s husband Chris). The day started off with a 5:30am text from Rachel: “OMG… it’s raining hard.” Even with the rain, we still made our way to Seattle, raincoats in tow. While the weather could have been more on our side, we thoroughly enjoy the 5K and finished just a little soggier then when we started.

In addition to the race itself, this 5K also lent us some ideas for The 3 Day. Come the end of Sept. we want o make sure our Sweet Melons are well assecorized! :-)
