5 Reasons I Love the 4th of July 5K

Beat the Heat 5K race report

On Saturday (July 23rd--yes, once again, I'm way behind the times!) I ran the Beat the Heat 5K for the first time. It’s put on by my running club, the Twin City Track Club, and my overall assessment was Great Race!  However, the heat made it nearly unbearable for me, so I’m … [Read more...]
