Today's only goal was to beat our prior 5K time. It was a hot and humid morning and we struggled to wake up on time to get up to Tucson to run. That hour and a half drive seems to take forever at 4am! We even drove through fog on the way up to Tucson, definitely not something seen every day in Southern Arizona.

This race was much smaller than our first one, so finding our proper place was much easier. We lined up and took off! What we didnt know was that this race was on gravel and dirt paths, and with the rain the night before, it was more like mud bogs and gravel roads. All the runners crossed the small wooden bridge at the same time, which the bridge wasnt too appreciative of. It started bouncing up and down and felt like it was about to snap! But we survived the bridge and had a good run. We accomplished our goal, finishing in 29:02. It was a great way to start the holiday!
