Last Saturday, I ran a 5K in downtown Allen that benefited Allen Community Outreach. I was looking forward to a beautiful spring run, but it was downright nasty. It was cold (40s) and windy with gusts up to 30mph. This race had a 1 mile at 8:00 and a 5K at 8:30, so I had planned to do both. But after hearing from my friend Carla that it was so nasty, we canceled for the 1 mile, and just went at 8:30 for the 5K.
We ran straight into the wind for the first half, then with the wind in one ear for awhile as we made the turn, but the final stretch was much better since the wind was at our backs. The turnout was pretty thin - I imagine because of the weather. I have no idea what my time was - I was just happy to have it over and to be able to go to Starbuck's to warm up.
About Me
- Holly
- I have a BS in ELED/ECE and a Master of Library Science focusing on school libraries. I taught elementary school before taking a "break" to attend graduate school and start a family. Now they are both in school, and I am a K-2 public school librarian in the DFW area.
My husband and I live in a northern Dallas suburb, and we are the parents of two wild, woolly, and wonderful elementary-age boys. We spend lots of time touring local museums, fielding their perceptive questions, preventing them from destroying our home, and limiting their time on Minecraft.
