Fighting Hunger 5k

      This past Saturday the husband and I, along with a few of my co-workers, participated in the Fighting Hunger 5k sponsored by Matthew 25 Ministries. We registered as a team, with the team name "Running on Empty" - pretty clever, right? The event itself had over 3,000 participants and was cheap well priced for all the goodies we received (i.e. more food than I have ever seen at a race).

     
      With so many people it was difficult to find a good pace and a good stretch of running room. I wasn't as physically prepared as I would have liked, not to mention the fact that I was dressed for 0 degree weather (which it was not). Overall, not my best race both physically and mentally, but it was still a great morning benefiting a great cause!
