The last time I ran this race was ten years ago when I was just getting home for summer break from college. Honestly, I barely trained for this 5k back in the day and it is nice to be able to look back (thanks to Athlinks!) and see that I run faster now than I did back then!

I didn’t have to set my alarm too early which always makes me happy. I was disappointed there was no bag check at {Read More}
The Run Strong, Think Big Virtual 5k was hosted by a fellow Tough Chik teammate, Nicole from Running While Mommy over July 21-22, 2012. With the help of this virtual race, benefitting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for Team in Training, Nicole was able to exceed her goal of raising 3,200 dollars. Awesome!
