Stephanie heard about a 5K today that was hosted by the police department and was a fundraiser for the special olympics. We showed up, excited to run and to support a great cause. We didn't realize that the run wasn't a loop, and that it actually started downtown and ended 3 miles away at the Safeway. We hadn't planned ahead and dropped a car off at the finish, but no biggie, we figured we would just turn our 3 mile run into a 6 mile run and run back after the finish. Then we learned that we would be running as a group and carrying a lit torch with us the whole way. How awesome! And they were providing hot dogs at the finish line!! This girl has never turned down a hot dog in her life. (When I was in college I tried to be noble and give up meat to reduce my carbon footprint on the earth. I made it 6 weeks! And then my friends had a BBQ where there were hotdogs. Vegetarian phase officially over). After we finished the race, scarfed down a hotdog, and mingled for a bit with the other runners, we headed back toward our car. The run back was significantly less exciting with the lack of a cool torch and the addition of hotdog gut.
