The Hear in the Dark 5k was held on August 15 (last Friday), and it was a great success! I don't know how many participants there were this year, but a bunch! It's was another fun night for all, for sure. Schwan's was available to sell frozen treats, and a farming group were also available, selling drinks and food. There were bounce houses and face painting for the kids. I helped at the registration table, which was quite busy! Runners started running at around 8:30 if I remember that right, with walkers following suit. It was a long walk, but it was fun! I had fun passing people on the path and checking out their glowy decor (light up wigs or hair strands, glow sticks/bracelets/necklaces, etc.). It was great! I had a lot of fun getting myself glowy for the 5K, and even found a use for the finger lights that I still had from last year's 5K.... I put them on my ears! There are elastic bands attached to the finger lights, so I put one on my Harmony CI processor, and one on my Phonak hearing aid, and voila! Lit up ears! I thought that was great and wish I had thought of it last year!

the number of steps I made all day Aug. 15! shew!
I had some pictures that I took with my Canon powershot camera, but unfortunately, the SD card that was in it is busted (as in I can't use it anymore, computer won't even format it). Darn it! But I did get some good shots with my Sony Handycam, so it's all good! Even got some video footage, which I will upload to youtube at some point.
