Okay so it's been a hot minute since I've written a blog post, but I've run a couple of 5K's recently and decided to dust off the keyboard to share some insight. Also, just FYI, I was tempted to try the AI Assistant because that wasn't there the last time I posted and it looks… Continue reading Why You Should Run Track Shack’s Celebration of Running 5k!

The Color Run (All-Star 5k)

I recently ran The Color Run a.k.a the happiest 5k on the planet and it was a blast!  I will start off by saying that I ran this race for free (more on that later) and it was held in a much more scenic location than last year - at the Waterfront Downtown!  It was also… Continue reading The Color Run (All-Star 5k)

Imperial Beach 5k

Last month I participated in the inaugural Imperial Beach 5k Beach Run.  I was little hesitant to register since it's the organization's first race and I prefer all of the kinks to be worked out before I participate in a race.  But they offered a promo code and a military discount so I only paid about… Continue reading Imperial Beach 5k

Chula Vista Community Fun Run

Earlier this month I participated in the 8th annual Chula Vista Community 5k.  The first thing that drew me to this run was that it's held at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista.  How cool is that?!  You get to run around a venue where actual Olympic athletes have spent several hours training for… Continue reading Chula Vista Community Fun Run

ACT Today! for Military Families 5k/10k

Last weekend, I participated in the ACT (Autism Care & Treatment) Today! for Military Families 5k/10k in Fiesta Island (Mission Bay).  I did the 5k last year and I really like the cause that this event supports, so this race was a must-do this year!  This time was a little different, I completed the 10k (my… Continue reading ACT Today! for Military Families 5k/10k

Margarita 5k

I recently participated in the Margarita 5K in Mission Beach and it was definitely a blast!  I used a coupon code for this race so I paid around $28 for this event.  Packet pick-up was the day before at Movin Shoes in Pacific Beach.  It's a tiny store, so I was in and out pretty fast.  Here… Continue reading Margarita 5k
