If you're a lemon passing me, I'm Malinda

I didn't wear a lemon costume, but I wore all yellow!

* iFitness belt

* Team Sparkle Skirt

* Zensah Sleeves

* Spreadshirt Custom T-shirt

When I saw the yellow tutus made by Coach Mary...

I just had to buy one to complete my ensemble!

It was a great race to #TweetAndRun for a great cause.

I could blame it on my taper madness but,
I just couldn't keep up with the Running Lemon...

I'm glad I wore my @TwinsRun shirt.

Alex's father, "Lemonade Jay" said,
"Hey, there's one of the twins that run"
as he passed me, of course! :-)

My Nike+ data wasn't quite accurate...

Lemonade at the Finish Line!

It wasn't my fastest 5k but it was...
my 1st time to place 3rd in my division!

On Sunday, I'll #TweetAndRun the Philly Marathon!

Fighting childhood cancer, one race at a time!
