Being that I do live in Track Town USA and running is practically a religion here I started running awhile ago. It's free, you don't have to drive anywhere to do it, and I like it! Now, I don't love it like some people do, but I am liking it. There are so many millions of paths here through parks and trees, so it makes it fun. It also makes it easier to get out there (in the rain now) if there's a race coming up, so Saturday I ran the Monster Mash 5k. It is a fun race by Autzen stadium(Go ducks!) and along the river. Costumes are allowed and it was fun to see all the different ones. All of my creativity, though, only got me wearing orange and black - although the shirt did have a trick or treat ghost on it.

The start was slightly chaotic. We had to wait to line up at the last second, 10kers were supposed to be one side and 5k ers on the other. I lined up way too far back and was stuck for awhile at the beginning.

Not my most attractive face, but I did beat that girl by one second.

Some friends who also ran it.

My time was a little over 25 min and I was happy with that. I beat my last 5k time by about 45 seconds. Hopefully I can get faster though. I was 2nd in my age group and 46th of 209 overall.
