The last race of 2013.
I knew Leilannie wanted to do 26 races in 2013, so last week I decided to check out RunningintheUSA.com to see if they had anything coming up.
What do you know ? I found the Danbury "Run Into the New Year" 5K! I asked my Dad to pay for the race as a Christmas gift and he did which was soo amazing. Thanks Dad, you're the best!
The race fell on the last Saturday of the year, and the weather was amazing for end of December. Cold, yes, but not freezing. I was so happy to run with Leilannie!
At the beginning of this run I was so so nervous because I had not run outside since the Stratford Harvest Hustle 10k (over a month ago). But when we started running I felt strong! STRONG! I can't say I have ever felt that before. Cross training really does help. I am so grateful for that.
Great things about this run:
-The course was nice and flat
-The course looped (I love loops!)
- The roads were wide so everyone had space to run
Weird things about this race:
- There was not one water stop ...
- It wasn't even three miles long (people were upset about this).
