This weekend I ran the HOM Teal Strides for Ovarian Cancer 5K. It was a beautiful cool morning for a race! There were people dressed in teal everywhere, including survivors of Ovarian Cancer. I was shocked to hear the announcer state that there was a survivor present who was only 7 years old! Though this wasn't a chip timed race, I was able to glance at the race timer to see my finish time of 33 minutes.
On Sunday we had to bring the "boys" Tic and Hershey in for their annual vet exams. The vet was concerned about Hershey tipping the scales at 13.2 pounds (yes, he's a tank). As the vet put it, Hershey was being a "crabby pants" and didn't let them take blood from his leg for testing. We tried again once we came back to pick him up; it took 4 of us to get the job done, and Matt and I felt really bad for him when they couldn't find the vein right away. Needless to say, he was very happy to be in the car and on the way back home once everything was done. He was so happy, he stuck his head out of the window like a dog, to let the cool breeze blow across his little face! To cheer him up, we let him chase the water hose around when we got home. He loved it! As you can see, he didn't seem to mind getting soaked!
