It was Sunday morning on 25 june, a small olive garden team hit the streets in Seattle to take part in the 29th Annual Shore Run and Walk. About a week ago ,i saw a brochure that encouraged me to run in honor of a person who has battled or is battling cancer.
Although it was hard to wake up early in the morning,this is an excellent race to test my fitness at the part of the summer. but the running scene was a good idea to get out with motivation. I was excited because i've heard that route gonna through Seattle’s tonier neighborhoods (former home of past Kurt Cobain’s,Nirvana Band ) & he was my one of favorite singer. We knew that last bus depart Madison Park for Leschi at 7:30 am,so we had to hurry .
Along beutiful Lake Washington,a couple of thousand people participated with proceeds was going to the renowned Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center which is an independent, nonprofit biomedical-research institution.
It started at 8:30 ,distance was 5 km. ,it was kind of sightseeing with great view of Lake & neat houses .I saw cobain's home ,which seems Quiet ,like nothing in anything ,i saw some bouquet infront of his house, nothing else.Than some words from his song came to my ear,'Come as you are, as you were,As I want you to be,As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy' with some cheerful voices.Within 50 mins., we crossed the line.We had some refreshment with live band music .
After the race, names of individuals got into the leather bound book that is on permanent display in the library of Fred Hutchinson.
WOW!! that was glorious event with some fun.These kind of events have always been highly source of pride for me.
