I've been wanting to run a 5K for quite a while. The Zoo Run Run was my chance! Here I am with Barry.
Dawn (on the far right) had heard about the race from Amy (center) and encouraged me to run. Amy's run several races, but this was the first for Dawn & I.
Look at all the people! 1700 were reported to be there! It was a chilly day. 36 at race time.
The picture of me coming across the line was very fuzzy, but here I am with a silly grin on my face. I succeeded in meeting my goal of running the whole race. The bonus was that I did it faster than I ever expected -- 35 minutes, 36 seconds. I normally run 3 miles in 36 minutes on a treadmill. So, I ran a longer distance (3.10 miles) in a shorter time! I even saw a tiger!
