5K FRIDAYS!

Since our virtual 5K race went over so well back in early August, we had a request to continue the trend. There actually aren't that many virtual races out there, and that's OK, since we didn't really RACE anyway. More like we completed a good workout with a large group of friends. So we figured Halloween was a great excuse to plan another one, and decided to keep it on a Friday after work, as that worked really well last time. Hence the creation of "5K Fridays", which we hope to do once every couple of months. Today's run followed the same 5K loop at the military park as last time, was run immediately after work, included some new faces, and ended with a boisterous dinner at our favorite restaurant instead of a park playdate (because it was COLD, and the sun is setting so much earlier these days). In fact, it was so unexpectedly cold that most of the kids stayed home and our planned group of attendees was short by 4 adults. Those of us who braved the chill had a good workout and the evening events were a great way to kick off the weekend! Thanks for coming out guys!
