Freedom Run 5K

My back healed up just in time for me to run in Cambridge 5k's Freedom Run.  Originally, I wasn't going to do this race because it was in June and I was very nervous about the weather.  Then I saw the route, which ran right through Inman, and I figured I should do it or I would get stuck in the traffic :-)

The Cambridge 5k race series is great.  It's really well organized, with a bag check, and after party.  This race began and ended at the Galleria which was an added bonus- real bathrooms, easy to run errands afterwards, and a food court.

I hadn't been able run for an entire month so I was pretty nervous about running the race.  I think knowing the race route really helped me and I was able to pace myself pretty well.  It was so fun to run down Hampshire Street, past the fire house, and back down Cambridge Street through the Inman Square bubbles.





After finishing the race we were all eager to hit up the after party.  There was a DJ, local breweries, and hot dogs.  It was a great way to spend a Sunday!

We already signed up for three more races in the fall!
