Freedom Run 5k

Last Thursday we grabbed our sneakers and headed downtown to "Let Freedom Run!" It was the annual Freedom Run 5k put on by the Dallas Young Laywers Association. It was started after 9/11 to honor those who lost loved ones during the attack and to raise money for local police force and firefighters. Paul's good friend Bill was the Chair so Paul helped with promoting the race. And it was a GREAT turnout and a lovely evening for a race! After there was a fun band playing, beer tents, BBQ and awards. Our team - Paul, Dustin, Mitch, Derek and myself was 23rd for team awards - ouch! But I was happy with my time- 25mins and I was 8th in my age group, 120th overall. (Not bad for my second run of the day ;-)) I was "trying" to take it easy since I had a big race that coming weekend - Prarie Man Tri on Sunday!
