Chicago's AIDS Run Walk

My weekend started off with a bang with Saturday's AIDS Run Walk at Grant Park! I really needed it too, for I needed to get outside after being cooped up in the house for much of this week. I was anxious to stretch my legs and take in the autumn air. Sorry to sound cheesy, but that's the truth.

Taking part in Chicago's AIDS Run Walk was a lot of fun! Over 7,000 people participated and over a half a million dollars was raised in support to fight AIDS. I also accomplished my goal of raising $400! Thank you thank you to my family and friends who took time out to donate. I greatly appreciate it.

Despite the roaming clouds and drizzle, I plugged along throughout my 5K walk and completed the race in 59:03. Here are some snapshots from the event.


My next walk is the Hot Chocolate 5k walk on Saturday, November 5th. Woo hoo! Cannot wait!

I would also like to wish my fabulous Mom a wonderful and fantastic birthday today! Love ya Mom!

    What a fun looking walk! I love Grant Park, despite the weather woes at least you had lots of nice scenery to look at :)

    Gosh, are you kidding, Mac! More walks! I think I'm going to faint after this walk. haha... Gee, you're super cool! If I'm a bit younger, maybe I can still be able to do the 5K walk but not anymore, honey. This is killing me for sure. Wishing you all the best and have great fun.
    Cheers, Kristy
