My last race was in fall 2012, a glow-in-the-dark 5k that I ran with my buddy Ed. It actually is my best time on a 5k, which is surprising because I did not train for that race. We made the decision to run in it the day before and I registered day-of.
I figured that registering at the last minute is a strategy that has worked for me in the past, so registering at the proverbial last minute is what I have done for The Sweet Run 2014, a part of the Rock-and-Roll Half Marathon in Portland. The run is May 18th, and I am very excited. Also nervous. Also a little bit sad because without a car, where will I put my 13.1 sticker?
Part of the run is raising money for The Cupcake Girls. The Cupcake Girls is an organization based out of Las Vegas, Nevada that has a local chapter here in Portland, Oregon.
Montgomery Park is just one of the buildings from the National Historic Register that I regularly pass on my training runs.
My goal is to raise $1000 for The Cupcake Girls. If you donate, you could select a song for my practice workouts, or for my run. You can select a route I run in the city of Portland at least once a week (no more than 6 miles) and much more! Click here to go donate!
