Running a little late with the preview of races for the month of may. We already have one weekend of great events behind us, and I took full advantage. Great weather made it near impossible for me to stay inside and sit behind a computer. As I result, I spent two days on the Jazz Festival grounds, working the New Orleans Track Club's first race of the month, and spending a late night with the animals at Zoo-To-Do.
I don't typically mix business with pleasure. Running is my escape from the day-to-day routine of the office; however, one of the best parts of the company I work for is that we're very involved in the community and support numerous non-profit organizations. One of those organizations is Girls on the Run New Orleans, a youth empowerment group that "inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident" while training for a 5K. This past Saturday, GOTR NOLA held their annual Spring 5K and I was thrilled to be invited to participate.
