A weekend at the races!
Here are some snaps from this weekend's Neon Dashand the Damon Runyon 5k for Cancer Research!
The Neon Dash 5k I ran in about 31 minutes, which I thought was pretty darn good accounting for the slow-down while getting neon tossed at me and the blister I got from wearing my very old sneakers. The excited atmosphere and pumping music kept me going. Great intermediate race to gear up for my first 10k next month!
It was cool to do a nighttime run--very different from the usual. Summer night are more manageable than the days, and the path wove around through an open field, so there was a nice breeze.
It was awesome that thesky appeared to be NEON, too!
For those who plan on doing a Neon Dashin the future, three things: (1) Go in a group! (2) Dress up like crazy! (3) Know that you can definitely run, walk, or danceyour way to the finish line. All three were popular choices for this race, which isn't even timed, so no pressure!!
