Emma and I ran the Ants In Your Pants local 5K with a few other friends. I really enjoyed this race and will run it again. The course through Bohl's park and looped around, it was scenic and shaded from all the trees. There was only 2 spots in the race that scared me just tad. The first one is when you run under a bridge, the bridge was so low I thought for sure my head would hit. The 2nd was a dip into a creek, the path changed from cement to rocky terrain and then back, I thought for sure I'd slip or fall over the rough patches and that drop was steep! Overall a great race and close to home. The temperature that day was perfect, around 65-68 degrees at the start of the race. Afterwards they gave out free snow cones to the participants as well as raffle prizes! Unfortunately we didn't win anything, but Emma and I both had some great race times!
