WOW 10/13-11/4

This is a long one...hehehehe!

But first, a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the Misfits that lent a hand on Sunday at the Fall Fire 5K hosted by my FD! Especially Jessica Pierson, Dan Woods, Minga Plata, Shain Wade, Stan Towers, and John Stevens who photographed the entire event! Also THANK YOU SO MUCH Eric Ott of Geneva Running Outfitters who put his Sunday on hold so that he could hang at our race. Eric had an awesome Pearl Izumi table set up and donated some great T-Shirts for prizes!

Congrats to our very own Caitlin McMahon who took home the OA female title and friend of the Misfits Chris Scott who claimed the OA male race! Congrats also to my hubby Al Wade who was hot on Chris' tail for the 2nd place finish with a time of 18:09!

Shout out to all of the Misfits who ran the 5K this morning too! Zac, Matt, Bryon, Kelly, Kevin, Stan, Caitlin, Martin, Al.
