Lions Run for Sight 5K race re-cap

 

Isn't this a great morning view...

Again, this morning I'm off for a early Saturday Morning race. Lions Run for Sight is a Top Notch event.

From Sponsors to registration sign ups they bring in THOUSANDS of dollars in donations every year.

***Their vision of service in Lexington and the surrounding bluegrass community, including:
    ***Lions Camp Crescendo - Support the annual blind and vision impaired youth camp financially and through direct service for camp facilities maintenance, keeping the camp free for the campers.
    ***Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation - A non-profit founded in 1954 by the Lions Clubs of Kentucky to provide vision services in Kentucky.
    ***Purchase eyeglasses for those who cannot afford them in the bluegrass community.
    ***Central Kentucky Radio Eye - An audio service for the blind and visually impaired.
    ***Leader Dogs - Training dogs to assist the blind and visually impaired.

    ***Other club service projects in our community.

**********

So, I mentioned I have a Relay Marathon later this summer. There's lots of info to share about that [to come] But most of my team of 10 was in fact at this morning's race. I've felt so good about signing up for the event and know that we will have a Fantastic/Fun time doing it.

It was what I needed to 'Jump' start me to get outside and get a couple miles in before going on vacation Monday. Along the downtown Block bob'N'weave as I call it I seen so many spring blooms. 

A simple dinner, tailgating with the Mr, and relaxing for the rest of the night. Church in the morning and finishing up packing for Biltmore trip.
