I recently had the pleasure of doing the Santa Anita 5K in the beginning of April. It was in Pasadena at the Santa Anita race track. We started the race by going through an authentic starting gate that the thoroughbreds go through - that was an interesting experience! I didn't feel like a thoroughbred, more like a clydesdale. ;) Anyway, then the race wound its way through the beautiful LA arboretum - being spring, it was beautiful green with flowers blooming and baby geese, very nice. We ended the race on the track in Santa Anita - gives you somewhat of an idea of what those horses go through - the track felt enormous!
It was a beautiful, fun race, and a great time. I'm looking forward to doing a little bit longer of a race soon, but this weekend we have the La Jolla 5K in San Diego - this is a repeat for us, should be lots of fun. The weekend after that, May 4, we'll be doing a 10K in Wine Country...wine and running? We'll see.
