Busy Birthday Level 69 Day

 

🙋Have I mentioned it's my Birthday??

**********

Started my birthday with a the first of MANY obligations today...

The 2nd annual race raising funds for the homeless of Lexington while

celebrating the life of Brandon True

New Life Day Center --- Our Race Charity Beneficiary

New Life Day Center is a daytime homeless shelter and connecting point. They first serve as a daytime shelter to get homeless persons out of the weather and off the streets. The focus at NLDC is to care for basic needs, be a connecting point to local resources such as medical care and housing assistance, and to provide a faith community that points people to Jesus. By building relationships and providing personalized assistance, they empower the community to make a positive impact in getting individuals off the streets. By participating in the inaugural Brandon True Memorial Heroes for the Homeless 5K Race, runners/sponsors will be directly impacting the homeless in our local community. It is no surprise that running a safe daytime refuge is costly, but we know the impact is far greater than the effort involved. Together, we can spread hope, change lives, and make a lasting impact in the lives of the most vulnerable in Lexington. We are one step closer to changing the landscape of homelessness in our community. 

Here are just a few of my picks from this mornings race...

Race Results

**********

Finished with the morning race event and decided Not to waste gas or time so headed to next event which was on the way home....I knew I was going to be Waaay early so stopped and picked up lunch

I'm actually pleased with myself for my choices....🏆win thus far for day 1 of better food options.

As the 'queen' of waiting, I also carry with me a book to read.

I was able to get a few chapters read before it was time to work race event 2 of the day...

Earth Day 3K was a super small race event [7 other races scheduled today]....36 were signed up and though small it was a great event put on by John & Nicholasville parks & rec.

They always provide the Best awards....

Ruger was 1st place Paw'runner.....

Other favorites from the race,

The 'kid' [bottom right] won 3rd woman overall & 1st in her age group!

Even with a small race I took lots of photos... race results haven't been posted yet 😞we didn't have our official timer here for this race, but the timer that was there used his phone to record bib numbers/runners as they crossed the finish.

Next for today [my birthday level 69] was helping the Mr unload a truck load of compost,

Ahhhh, the memories. Anyone else??

This was for the Mr's church community garden. And as #TeamCline we help anyway we can. The compost was free from the city so beggars can't be choosers, the truckload filled 8 raised beds. Now off to yet another Busy Birthday Level 69 Day...

Finally finished with today's 1st day of level 69 adventures, and as always, I'm beyond grateful to be able to do what I do. Time to load up all of the photos, shower, and get rest for tomorrows adventures.
