Running under the Lights

The annual Galaxy of Lights 5K was held last night at the Botanical Gardens in Huntsville.

I have been running this race since 2014 and I absolutely love it. I love running and I love Christmas. This race ties two of my favorite things together.  The main thing that I enjoy the most is getting to see all of the light displays around the course. 

The weather was crazy this year. It was so windy outside and right as we started the race, mother nature decided it should rain cats and dogs. But I did not allow the wind and the rain stop me from doing a good job. At the end of the race, I checked the results sheets and I found my name and saw that I was the first girl in my age group to finish, putting me in first place. I have won first place in my age group for this race three years in a row and overall I was the fifth girl to finish.
