I was never really big into running until I went to college. It was then that I started to become more interested in running and I started to actually like it. During my Sophomore year I decided I wanted to start running some races.
Krispy Kreme Challenge
February 2009

| Before the race, looking a liiiittle sleepy. |
2 miles to Krispy Kreme, 12 donuts, 2 miles back. But, NO I did not eat any donuts. I chose to run back with mine and eat them throughout the week/share them with my suite mates :) Pretty sure my body/stomach appreciated that.

Official time: 2 hours 57 minutes (that's what happens when you stop & wait in line multiple times to get pictures taken!)
Garmin time (I paused my watch everytime we stopped running): 2 hours 15 minutes.
