Angels Among Us 5K

The results are in! As you may know, I participated in the Angels Among Us 5K this past Saturday (April 25th). The Angels Among Us 5K supports Duke’s Tisch Brain Tumor Center, which has clearly touched many people’s lives considering the magnitude of this event. The cause behind this race is so deserving of such significant community support. If you’d like to learn more about the annual race, click here.

The runners: my ChiO sisters & me (I am wearing my beloved purple shorts again)

My official chip-time was 24:48, and my gun-time was 25:03. Not a vast improvement in pace, but at least I’m not getting slower! I placed 5th in my age group (20-24).

Now for the SWAG:

I have two T-shirts here: one is for my team (supporting Charlene from Tulsa, a ChiO alumna) and one is for the event itself. The biggest surprise out of this bag of goodies was probably the mascara–apparently Lancome was a sponsor for the race. Go figure.

Anyway, I hope you all are having a pleasant Monday. Be back later with a re-cap of today’s eats. Toodles.

   Great time!

   I am all for free makeup. Lancome’s not cheap either!

   I hope they give out “swag” at physical therapy. Wouldn’t that be cool?!
