Race for the Cure

So the Race for the Cure was yesterday at Meredith College. It was hot and sunny. There were over 20, 000 participants. Our team was there, unfortunately not everyone could come. I ran most of the time and my time was 32:25 which I am very proud off despite the fact I didn't train at all. While we were running, there was live music, people giving out water, people spraying us w/ hoses and water guns, there was a mister and big fans to blow on us. I didn't want to leave the 1/2 way mark. LOL
It was so empowering. I am definitely going to organize a team again for next year.

Bellydance RAQS!!!

Here is my first costume I bought on Bhuz last year. I added my own crystals and rhinestone chain. I looks really nice with the black chiffon skirt.

I finally danced it in at the last hafla, doing my sword dance.

New pics

I got some new pics taken in my Brown Bella. My oldest son was the photographer.

I love this costume!

Hafla

Clare Smith sponsored a Cinco de Mayo hafla on Sunday, May 4, 2008. Unfortunetely it was a very small crowd, but we still had fun. I did two performances..one with sword again. I really like using the sword and have to work on some choreographies.

Apex Peak Fest

I performed at the Apex Peak Fest on Sat, May 3, 2008 along with Shahzaadee and Kasha. The weather was nice but windy...making it hard for props.
