Poplar Spring Run for the Animals 2012

Each year the Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary holds a 5k fun run as well as a 1k fun walk at Wheaton Regional Park Wheaton, MD. A few major sponsors are A Well Fed World, Conscious Corner and The Boot Camp Girl.

The race started promptly at 8:00 am Sunday morning May 20, 2012. The race run through the park with various hilly spots. The temperature was around 70 degree that morning with most of the trail in shaded areas. The race had around 333 runners. Dogs were welcomed as well as their owners for the walk.

The first prize team this year was PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) with COK (Compassion Over Killing) is second place.

My time was:

I look forward to next year's race and will surely beat my time.


 

Polar Plunge

Last year I participated in the Polar Plunge which benefits the Special Olympics. The temperature was in the teens and wind chill made it even colder... the light dusting of snow also helped with this epic time.

The snow was so bad it took a few hours to get to and back from Sandy Point when it should have only took maybe 45 mins each way. It was still a blast. Getting pumped up and just doing it. Afterwards I was freaking out for fear of hypothermia. (childhood trauma)

Here's some pictures from last year:









And I'm doing it again!
