My roommates and I decided that for senior year we will try to always say “yes” and take full advantage of every opportunity we come across. So when I was talking to my roommate Bekah at 1:30am on Friday and learned she was running a 5K in the morning, I decided to say yes and join her.
The 5K benefits CASA, a charity which promotes volunteer advocacy for abused and neglected children. By 8:30am on this chilly Saturday morning we were up, all registered and ready to run.
We started off at an even pace, nothing too fast. For the last mile we decided to pick up the pace and play catch-up to all of the runners ahead of us. This turned out to be a good idea because before we knew it the race was done and guess what??... Well I ended up taking first place for my age group and second for women overall and Bekah took fourth place for our age group; pretty impressive considering our last minute decision to even run.
We finished...
And still had energy!
I even got a medal.
Had to snap a pic with the Chick-fil-A cow.
The 5K was lots of fun and inspired us to take a look at the Disney Half-Marathon!
