St. Leo’s 10K {2017–3rd year running!}

On Saturday, 3/18, I ran St. Leo's 10K for the 3rd year straight.  I won my age group in 2015 and 2016, and was hoping for a repeat performance.  I had some challenges, but met my goal! My parents came in town for the weekend, so it was nice to have them there to watch me.  We … [Read more...]
