Way back in April or May, I signed up to do the Color Run 5k at Charlotte Motor Speedway with some former coworkers. Our group shrunk dramatically due to pregnancies and other commitments, but I met Cathy and one of her friends for a very fun morning. Here I am pre-race:
I have been running consistently this fall, so I ran like it was any other day, which was very hard to do, because most people were walking the course. I look this picture as soon as the first color station came into sight. This picture is deceiving...this was the most uphill 5k I think I have ever done!
