THERESA:
Who's doing Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Race for the Cure this Sunday morning? April, Jenice and I are planning to run! If you've been part of this terrific event before, you know how inspiring it is. Last year's race drew 34,232 runners and walkers to help raise money to battle breast cancer. Everyone is invited to participate in the 5K Run, 5K Walk or 1-Mile Fun Walk. If you haven't signed up yet, there is still time, and it's easy to sign up on the day of the race.
In addition to T-shirts, great snacks and other incentives, everyone who runs gets a Lilly Pulitzer bandanna. The Ford Foundation has commissioned Lilly Pulitzer for the second year in a row to design the bandanna and Silk Scarf for their 2004 breast cancer awareness campaign, "Get Tied to the Cause." The bandanna will debut Sunday in Philadelphia, and more than half a million bandannas will be distributed freely at races all around the country.
CBS 3’s "Women of Eyewitness News" (photo on the "CLICK FOR MORE" page) will be out in full force leading a line-up of local media personalities hosting the 14th annual Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Philadelphia Race For The Cure. The race starts at 8:30 Eakins Oval at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. You can register or pick up your race packets at the start between 6:30 and 8 a.m.
This race is the most inspiring short race I've ever done. It gets more than double the number of people the Broad Street Run gets, and it is for such an amazing cause. My goal this year is the do the race in 27 minutes or less, since it's a short distance.
This is the first time I will run this race (or any race for that matter!) I've been running since January so I am very excited (and a bit anxious) to get to this first race. My goal isn't so grand at hoping to finish at 35 minutes or so but I am excited. Any tips?
Posted by: Christa on May 7, 2004 09:53 AM You'll do great, Christa! Running with a huge crowd really supplies an adrenaline boost, I find. My advice is not to rush too fast at the start of the race. Get in a good stretch ahead of time, and at the begininning, just get a good rhythm going for the first mile. If you're feeling strong, kick up the pace in mile two and three. Also, eat a light breakfast-- maybe half a bagel and a yogurt -- well before the race.
And let us know after the race how it went, OK?
