Sunday morning I ran my second 5k of the year, the Shack Attack, out at The Crossings. I had seen this event promoted on the TU's Runner's Blog and I thought it sounded like a great way to start the day. No, really, I did.

I think it was 1998 and I know I had to stop and walk once or twice before finishing in about 38 or 39 minutes. And, I believe we lubricated our … Continue reading My first 5K!
