YAY!!! I finished my first 5K and boy was it a doozy. It was very rewarding and a great time, but the course was tough. The course went through a LOT of hills with steep inclines, parking lots, rooted trails covered in wet leaves, the beach, campground loops, and a marshy field. This was a fun to do and my pup Natalya LOVED it! The girls loved watching as well and want to give it a go next year. wooohoooo. The costume contest was a hoot and loved seeing the dogs dressed up. HA!
