What kind of girl goes into Boston at 6am to run a 5k? A girl who has to drop off her husband at the airport at 4am.
I also dragged my brother along so he could take pictures.
Note: I’ve been very pink lately.

After having raced at 6pm last night, I decided to race again 12 hours later. Some interesting things about the race:
- The race was free.
- It included a group warmup
- The purpose was to encourage taking charge of healthcare by taking care of our own health first.
It was also a group of inexperienced runners. I found myself at the front of the line (see the pink skirt?).
The course was three loops of the Boston Commons. A place I used to run in when I was in college.
My little brother was thrilled to have a chance to take pictures of me that looked like this.
I somehow came second in women. My time seems a lot slower than my effort indicated. I’m not sure if its because of the slight hill in Boston Commons or if the distance was inaccurate.
Being a free race I got a certificate for finishing second. I was pretty excited about even getting a piece of paper.
