For some reason last year, I didn’t run in many fall 5Ks and as I was running and training this summer, I realized I missed the scene and the energy that encompass a Saturday morning run for a good cause.
Asheville is the perfect place to get re-engaged in the running scene (although I would suggest hiding in the middle of the pack and not pushing your way to the front of the start line) because you have people who are passionate about running and people who are passionate about helping!
It’s intoxicating to be a part of this kind of community and to understand the world is bigger than you and your own issues.
So as I sit here drinking my post race coffee, I am happy that I was able to support Autism Society of NC and Harrelson Agency.
Oh, but I am definitely checking out the course map next time so as not to be surprised by quarter mile hills that lurk around mile 2!
