This is the first time I’ve run this particular race. I decided kinda last minute to give it a go and I’m glad that I did. Sponsored by the AFJROTC of San Marcos High School in San Marcos, Texas. They call it a “Fast and Furious 5K” which had me a little worried because honestly……
Run for the Angels
I don’t usually do Virtual Runs. I’m a social butterfly ๐ฆ and I love the running community and the big crowds and the wild after parties but sometimes I need to run alone. To find my peace. To cry. To grieve. To push through the heartbreak that I live with each and every day. ๐…
