Race For The Cure – 2004

Val and I walked the 5k for the Race For The Cure again this year. I took a bunch of pictures while we were walking and they came out better than I expected. This year there were 33,000 people there and it made the walk pretty slow, but it was all for a good cause. One thing that really was troubling to me was the fact that while this could barely be considered exercise because of the pace, people were just struggling to make it. Let’s face it Pittsburgh, too many of us are way too fat. It’s disgusting. I’m disgusting. Time to do something about it. All of us. When you can’t walk 3 miles at an extremely slow pace without gasping for air and continually stopping, it’s time to reevaluate things.

Now, I can say these things because I’m obviously so perfect, but notice that I lumped myself in with the above comments. Although I had no issues walking 3 miles, seeing so many people around me with weight problems was really depressing. Hopefully it will be the incentive that I need to continue exercising and eating right.

Anyway, here’s the link to the pictures…
