Home for the Holidays 5K


I had an early start to me day cuz I took Nate to the airport for an 8:10am flight back to DC. The great part is, he'll be Home for the Holidays. Did a 5k Home for the Holidays walk. It's the First Annual one being sponsored by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, http://www.coloradocoalition.org/. It was at Central Park in the Stapleton neighborhood. For an inaugural event it was well run (no pun intended) staffed by lots of volunteers and lots of cool stuff at the finish line. The race announcer said the event was raising $25,000. I believe I finished in about 44 minutes and 44 seconds. So, for a 5k, I was pleased. After the race, I picked up a few more supplies for our church's Thanksgiving Basket project for refugees sponsored by Lutheran Family Services of Colorado.

Next event, Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day.
