Lauren Outruns Cancer

I thought I'd write a brief post about my wonderful wife and some things she's busy doing that that you might be interested in. Lauren had a busy day today. This morning she participated in a "Hoosiers Outrun Cancer" 5K benefit run. As many of you know, she runs a few times a week. We clocked the run she typically does (to a nearby LDS chapel and back, ironically it isn't our chapel), and it came in pretty close to 5K. So she was well prepared. The route had some steeper inclines than she was used to, but she did great. Over 5,000 people participated in this run/walk, and they raised over $100,000 for cancer research.





Later today she had a young women picture scavenger hunt activity (as you probably know, she's the YW President in our ward). Still later she attended the relief society general broadcast. Busy busy busy!

PS - You can see Lauren in the video between about 15 seconds and 17 seconds. It is the only time I moved the camera (it tracks her for a second to the left).

We're so proud of you Lauren, but not surprised. What does Carl, your running mentor, think? Remember that Ithica cross country run he got you and Sheryl involved in some years ago?

By the way (this is Sean again) Lauren is in all the pictures except the 3rd (with the crowd in the parking lot) and the last (with the big crowd on the field). You can see her running towards the helmet and onto the field in the others.
