Road races make running fun!
Seriously. I hate running. I get
bored and spend all my time thinking about reasons to take a break. But this
was my first time participating in an organized run and it was a totally
different experience. The energy level is sky high. You don’t even need an iPod to distract you
with live bands rocking out and spectators cheering you on.
So if you’re an inexperienced runner and you want to get
into the sport, a 5K is the way to go. Here’s
another bonus! The road was completely flat today at the at the Stratton-Faxon
New Haven Road race. I ran my best time
ever of 31:34. It’s not too
impressive. But my goal was to beat my
previous time AND continue running without taking a break. I achieved both goals.

I also wanted to run to help raise money for the United
Way! They helped sponsor the kids race
this year and they do a ton for the local community including pro
