Nine: Walk for Life

 

 My ninth 5K is in the books. On Saturday, May 11, 2019, I joined about ninety other walkers for the First Annual Walk for Life sponsored by the Black Hills Pregnancy Center in Rapid City. The walk began at 10:00 AM--and the rain began around 10:15. The clouds, however, were beautiful.



  Luckily I had my umbrella along, so I stayed dry...almost. Kristin called to offer a ride about halfway through, but I kept on walking until the sun came out again.

The walk was a full 5K that took me from the Old Storybook Island Picnic Shelter, past the little league baseball fields, under Jackson Boulevard, to Canyon Lake Park, and back again. Since it was the day before Mother's Day, all moms received carnations before they left. I finished walk number nine, and the 2019 Walk for Wishes will put me in the double digits.
