Brookhaven Bolt- May 14th!

Since our half marathon in March, Cory and I have been itching to run another one. Last weekend we participated in the 5k Walk MS Atlanta at Piedmont Park to support the National MS society (we had a blast! See photo below), and we have already signed up for the Warrior Dash (5k obstacle race) up in North Georgia in a few weeks. Lastly, we're looking forward to possibly participating in a sprint triathlon in July as well. Phew!

There is just something about the spring season that makes me want to get out of the house and work out (sometimes...)! Not to say that I'm any sort of crazy athlete like my sister, Erica or my friend, Stacy, but I do enjoy running, swimming, biking (occasionally...), hiking, etc.

While out running for the first time in awhile yesterday, I spotted a sign in our neighborhood for the 4th annual Brookhaven Bolt. A local 5k run/walk to support our local elementary school: Ashford Park (100% of the proceeds are donated!). The run is Saturday, May 14th and starts at 8:00am. Cory and I would love to participate, but that happens to be the same day as Warrior Dash :(. The race looks like a lot of fun, and the course actually looks very similar to a few of the runs we did for training (see Course Map below). Ashford Park is a great neighborhood to run through (a bit hilly), but beautiful unique homes to look at, and LOTS of shade.

The race starts and finishes at the Village Place development (Library Coffee, Verde, Kaleidoscope, Pour, Eggs Nest, etc.). So after you're done you can grab a coffee, taco, wine, and some baby gifts!  If you aren't a big runner, and would still like to help out this event, they need a lot of volunteer support.

If you are interested in supporting this great cause and getting a little exercise at the same time, sign up today (cost is $20 and increases to $25 after May 12th)!
