The Next Chapter: Women's Run/ Torch Run

Saturday morning, I took part in the Women's Run in Billings. This is the 3rd year I have participated. The Women's Run is held to promote women's fitness and health. All the money is donated to various local entities. I participated in the 2 mile walk. I am soo not a runner! It was an amazing day. The weather finally cooperated and there was no snow or wind! It was a beautiful morning! There was a record breaking attendance with close to 8,000 women participating this year. It is an amazing event and a lot of fun.

Today, it was Tim's turn to take part in an event. He participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run. The Torch Run benefits the Special Olympics. The run began on April 26th and has 14 different starting points as it makes it way to Bozeman (a journey of 2,500 miles) where the opening ceremonies will be held. The Wheatland County leg of the race started in Harlowton this morning and made it's way to Big Timber. Kim "rock star" biked for 19 miles-- all of it hills!-- before Tim took his turn at biking 3 miles. He really lucked out and got a nice stretch of flat highway. The rain was just starting when he took off, and by the time he ended and it was Jeff's turn to carry on, it was coming down pretty good. The torch will continue on into Big Timber and make it's way to Bozeman where the cauldron will lit on May 12th to commemorate the opening ceremonies. Another great cause!
