Pink Skirt for Breast Cancer
This is Steven (and Steven’s friend). We first met Steven and his sweet wife, Kathy, in LAX while we were delayed flying to Hawaii.
Yes, Steven is wearing a pink skirt! I thought that he was wearing it just to fit in with the craziness that is the “Underpants Run”in Kona. Believe me, I saw much stranger things than this running down Ali’I Drive that morning!
Turns out there is a much more serious reason he is wearing it. He is wearing this pink skirt in honor of “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” and in tribute to 3 ladies in his own life that are recovering from breast cancer. His story of the pink skirt touched my heart. You can read the full story here: www.thedoorknobchronicles.com
Most of us do not have a chance to wear a pink skirt while running down Ali’I Drive in Kona, Hawaii. (And would we really have the nerve anyway?) Yet, each one of us has something we can do, though, right where we are. Today, I challenge you to find your own version of the “the pink skirt”. Just go out and do it!
Quiet Friday
Friday was a quiet day. The Ironman World Championship was the next day! We were all walking around in a little bit of disbelief. Could it really be the day before the race? It just did not seem real.
James had another training session with his coach. Rylan and I were going to go down to watch him, but discovered it was raining again! So, we just crawled back into bed and went back to sleep. Ummm…no…that is just a dream of a sleep deprived mommy! In reality, Rylan was not letting me go back to sleep. We shared a muffin, then waited on Aaron and my dad to come down on the trolley from his hotel.
After his brief training session, James spent most of the day relaxing and keeping his feet up. We went to lunch and got an early pasta dinner and James was in bed by 8:00. The rest of us soon followed.
Saturday…IRONMAN!
