This morning, I supported our HBCU's and participated in the 5th Annual HBCU 5k. I ran this same race last year and this event has raised over $124,000 for scholarships benefiting deserving metro-Atlanta students. No, I'm not an Alumni of an HBCU school, however, my sister and cousin are graduates from Spelman and Morehouse. :-)
On my way to the race...before I changed into my blue Run Girl Run shirt:)
Sisterlocks were acting right this morning and helped me get ready in 20 min;-)
We had much fun!
We love taking pics!
Myself with two of my fav running buddies, Raquel and Lisa (post race pic, lol)
We are RUNNERS!
We all had a great time..BGR was there representing. I attempted a sub 30, that didn't happen as it was WAAAAAAY too hot. The highs this weekend are in the triple digits, and the race didn't start until 8:35am. Who's silly idea was that?? Smh. At that time, the temp was already in the mid 80's. It was super hot and I had no business thinking I'd PR, lol. Shortly after the race started, I realized that I was just going to have fun and not bother attempting to beat time, run fast and hard, etc. I took my time and enjoyed the run. End results...about 36 min. Another 5k on the books. Next up...the 2012 Decatur-Dekalb YMCA 4-miler:)
