Run In Mud Obstacle Race Training-10/1/16

Chick fil A sponsored a 10k on Oct. 1, 2016. Actually, they do a lot of these races. Their Connect Race Series sponsors races and takes care of all the logistics from timing to refreshment to awards and prizes.  It was a great race for a great cause. This particular race benefits Team Hope Ministries, an organization I serve with. Team Hope helps with the needs of the homeless, needy community members, and hungry children. Our motto is "Sharing the Hope of Jesus with the Hurt, Lost, Lonely, and Forgotten".

The 10k began at 8am with the 5k following at 8:10 and the 1 mile fun run shortly after. The course was well set up with cones marking the entire distance, lots of helpful volunteers, and loads of cows. 

I had a great time and ran my own race. This was my first timed 10k since the 80's and I'm happy to say I had a great time with it. 

I took the first place in the master's division. I received a medal, tons of free Chick fil A meals, and some bragging rights. Thanks Chick fil A, that was cool.
