Today I’m running a small 5K in Winter Haven. It is the 18th Annual Shamrock Walk and Run. The coolest part besides it being in my neck of the woods, Polk County, is that there is an event where people are able to run with their dogs. I think this will be so cute to watch and I hope to get some great pictures out of it.
Have you ever run a race with a gimmick like running with your dog?
Please wish me luck and I will report back on my time and super cute dog pictures tomorrow.
One last thought, I actually made it in the local newspaper for a rally I participated in with my fellow local Democrats called Awake the State. The new story can be found here.

I hope your race went well!
It was awesome!
