It was a nice course through a small dirt section, and mostly mowed grass trails. The Heart to Heart volunteers were SO wonderful! Very welcoming, and stationed along the course to cheer us on. They did a great job organizing the race. There were only about 100 runners, so it was a nice, chill way to start the weekend. Once the pack opened up, we had a stretch of trail to ourselves, so Taylor was able to dart back and forth a bit, hunting as we ran.
They had a ton of food for us at the end—fruit, sports drinks, and premium bagels (spinach & gruyere, anyone?), and the race packet included a ton of local coupons. I felt like they gave me more than I gave them with my entry! Definitely a race I would do again—super friendly crowd, and they were very appreciative to all who attended.
You can easily support the children of Haiti by purchasing a handcrafted necklace. It has been three years since the terrible earthquake that changed their lives, but they are still very much in need of our help. From what Pam and Melissa have told me, the people in Haiti are so wonderful and grateful for the world's support.
Taylor and I finished the race in 28:13, mostly due to Taylor's momentum. Not too bad, considering my Nike+ thinks we actually ran 5.5k. Starting to get my times back down to where they used to be... just need to get back into shape!
