The OTC summer run series has started again for 2013. The second Thursday of each month between March and November is a 5k race somewhere in the Eugene/Springfield area. Ocassionally there is a 10k as well and it's free for members and only $5 for nonmembers. Never is a race that inexpensive! The cheapest 5k I've seen is still $25-$30! And $free is even better. I'm trying to race as much as I can for the practice of just racing so these are perfect for me.
Even better is that they are the perfect distance for people who don't run a TON but want to set a goal to work towards. Abbey came out tonight and it was fantastic! She's only run a 5k one other time in her life and it was a long time ago: pre-Penelope for sure. Her goal was to beat her previous time and she destroyed it! I'm so excited for her and so excited that she wants to do it again! I'm really hoping that we can get more of the girls in our complex out to do them, too. It would be so fun to have something super active like that to do together. And I love that the kids can all come hang out, run around in the fields, and watch their mamas be active!
