Nashua New Hampshire Summer Fun 5k Road Race

Jeff the road race director and I hanging in the shade!

Whew talk about a beautiful but hot hot day !!!! The temps on main street read a toasty 96 degree's. I arrived early in the day as a volunteer and runner in the road race. The road race is part of an all day event called the Nashua Summer Fun 2008. There are vendors set up all around the park and food, games, music and of course the kids run and the 5k run/walk. The races were at 1:30pm and I kept drinking lots and lots of water! I almost chickened out but I figured I'd give it a shot :) It was a small turn out for the 5k and I know it was only because of the hot weather! So anyway I ran/walked the three miles and boy was I pooped afterwards, the heat was a killer...but I managed to survive and come in second :) Trust me my face was a beautiful stop sign red for a while after !!!! I figure it is survival training for the dessert heat in Vegas! The road race course was awesome, such a beautiful run through the woods. The money raised benefits the local soup kitchen/food pantry. The entry fee was $6.00 dollars but if you bought can goods to the race it was $3.00 dollars, which I thought was a great idea! It was well organized and I had a lot of fun. I'll be back next year to run again!

These adorable boys who are both five years old
