Race Results

**Photos from the race day are in the previous post - you may have to view the photos from home if your workplace denies you access to Picasa** So, be sure to forward the email to yourself at home!

The race results are in, you can check them out by clicking this link ---> 2007 Race Results ... The only runner on our team that appears to have been chip timed is my brother in law, who ran the 5K in 24:11.05! Great Job Scott!! I do not know the results for our other runners, but thank you for participating, your efforts were awesome.

You can read a few follow-up articles on Race for the Cure here:


1) Race for the Cure 2007 - Draws Record Crowd
2) 8,500 Join Madison's Race for the Cure

I can't thank everyone enough ... so keep in mind that next years race is on June 1st! I will be contacting all of you in 2008 in hopes that you can participate again. I hope to get our team growing to at least double what we did this year.

Coming up next will be the Passionately Pink for the Cure in October's breast cancer awareness month. Until then ... keep me posted on any news, info, photos, etc... you'd like me to put on our team site.

THANKS team Paint the town Pink!

Racing Day



Started out with thunderstorms - but cleared in time for the race and walk. It didn't start raining again until after the Survivor photo.

My appreciation goes out to all of those who participated and donated to the Komen Foundation for Race for the Cure 2007. It wouldn't have been the same without all of you.

If any of you have photos you'd like to send me, I can post them on our team site for all to view.

Meanwhile, here are the photos we took at the event. You can click on the Paint the Town Pink logo and it will bring you to the entire album of photos.

Great Job Paint the Town Pink!! Let's grow our team for next years race. This year we had 41 team members.

T Shirt Pick Up

Bring your umbrella, rain boots, and camera!
My thanks to all of you who picked up your t-shirts at my home last night. This makes things much easier on me for Race Day. I don't know what I would have done if I had to bring all of them with me. :) For those that were unable to pick them up - they are ready for you on Race Day. Just a reminder - I will be near the Welcoming Remarks area at 8:00 a.m. until approximately 8:30 a.m. I will be holding up the team Paint the Town Pink sign in hopes that this will help us find each other.

I realize we are all doing different legs of the "Race", but it would be nice to gather in one spot if possible and get some photos of the team members. After 8:30, everyone is virtually on their own as it would be too difficult to keep track of 41 people amongst 10,000 participants!

See you tomorrow Rain or Shine! Keep in mind that your safety is most important - so if there are dangerous weather conditions - use your best judgement.

Thanks again everyone! My sincerest appreciation.
