Run for Diabetes 5K in Norman
A few weekends ago my mom and I ran in the run for diabetes in Norman, Oklahoma. This particular run was very close to our hearts because my grandfather has diabetes. This was one of the funnest runs I have ever participated in. The run actually ended on the Owen football field with the Sooner mascot cheering us on as we came through the finish line. It was a great experience and one of my best 5K times. When signing up for the race, there was a groupon you could buy to register for $12, instead of $25. I was impressed with this and thought it was a really cool thing for the directors of the run to do, because races can get pretty expensive, especially if you try to do one every weekend each month. Also, I'm on the hunt for some good running headbands that don't slip out of your hair.

Hi Morganne! Looks like you two had a great time! That's so special to have your mom running with you. I love how 5ks are usually for a good cause! It makes spending the money worth it :) I've only done one 5k, but want to do more because they're so fun! Are you wanting to do one 5k race a month? Or are you considering other distances as well?
ReplyDeleteYes 5k's are extremely fun :) I've done other distances like 10k's, a half marathon, and I'm doing a quarter marathon the 15th of this month. Do you run other distances?
