Cruising the Creekwalk 5K

 Saturday we ran our January 5K in downtown Prattville.  It was a fundraiser for the Autauga County youth leadership program.  The race went along the creek (hence the name) but only for a little bit then cut through town and up into the Prattville cemetery (which had plenty of hills) before circling back to the starting line by the high school stadium.  Perfect temps and the rain held off until after the food and awards.  Speaking of food....what is the thinking behind having pizza, donuts and mini Chick-Fil-A's at the finish line?  Yeah, there were bananas and oranges as well but the others sort of seems to defeat the purpose of having just run 3.2 miles!
I always seem to be the one reading this woman's shirt during the races!
 Tom has been doing a boot camp MWF from 5-6 AM so his group decided to run this race together.  For some it was their first race but they all did well.
We also ran into my friend Erin from my Prattville book group.  She and her husband brought their boys Nate and Ben over to run.  Nate (in red) was very happy when he passed me by and not at all ashamed to show it!
