Adam Towler Memorial 5k

This weekend I ran in my second 5k. It was the Adam Towler Memorial 5k/10k in Laramie, WY. Its put together by my friend Sarah Towler. The run is a memorial to her brother who's life was tragically cut short on Juy 16th, 2006 in Laramie. The race proceeds will benefit the Adam Towler Foundation and the Boston Children's Hospital.

This is not the first time I've participated in this race, last year I walked the 5k. This year is the first time I've actually run it .... and boy did I run it!! I'm not sure the exact number of participants, but I think there was somewhere around 120 or so. I placed 23rd overall and 2nd in my category (female 25-29). I ran it in 27:45!!! I'm pretty excited about it as if you couldn't tell.

Here's me with my 2nd place medal

My next run on the list is the Boulder Muddy Buddy, Aug. 15th. Its a partner run/bike/obstacle course race that covers 7 miles. My partner is Sue (my running buddy from the Super Day 5k). It sounds like we'll see some pretty interesting people in costumes, do some running, some biking, get muddy, and have a ton of fun!!!!

Lastly, I'm not really sure but I think I was possibly persuaded to do a 1/2 marathon in October. It would be the Rock n' Roll Denver Half on October 17th. I'm going to start the training and see how it goes before I decide one way or the other. I'll keep you posted!
