Dual Race SATURDAY !!!

 What a Day!! 

Up at Early:EarlyDarkThirty.....returned home at Late:LateDarkThirty.

Oh. So. Worth. It!

'Working' along the Ohio river was such a treat....



**First up**

"Beat the Clock!" was the theme this year for the 5K.

The Kicking Butt 5K is all about raising awareness that colon cancer can be prevented through timely screening. Screening starts at age 45 or younger if you have a family history.


The annual race brought together survivors, fighters, advocates, healthcare providers and community partners to eliminate preventable colon cancer death and suffering.

The Colon Cancer Prevention Project started in 2004, when only 1 in 3 Kentuckians were getting life-saving colon cancer screenings. Now, about 2 in 3 Kentuckians are getting screened, and the incidence rate is down more than 25%. Kentucky is now nationally renowned for its work, which includes a state-wide screening program for low-income, uninsured people.

The American Cancer Society estimates the diagnosis of 97,220 new cases of colon cancer and 43,030 new cases of rectal cancer in 2018. Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women in the United States and the second leading cause in men.

You have the power to prevent an unnecessary colon cancer diagnosis! Eat healthy, learn the symptoms of colon cancer, listen to your body, and get screened on time.

Kid's race is always a race highlight, I call them my future Marathoners,

Of course, I want to share my 4-legged runner 'kids'...

After stopping for a late breakfast, I decided to check out the ''at home'' store (more so just to kill some time)...

 I have never been so overwhelmed while shopping, the store reminded me of a 'Dish Barn' warehouse type setting. The average store is 110,000 square feet. Each store offers up to 50,000 home products that range from furniture, mirrors, rugs, art and housewares to tabletop, patio and seasonal decor. My Mother would have LOVED this place.

Even though I knew I would be really early I headed onto Carlisle for the ScareCrow Shuffle 5K, still a hour+ drive from Loiuisville, but to save on time and gas I went on, and glad I did as they were having a small festival in the courtyard square before the race. 



The inaugural Scarecrow Shuffle 5K race benefited the Carlisle Rotary Club and their great work in the community. Their motto is "Service Above Self". I anticipated the 5K to continue to grow and be a favorite for many runners,
