"2014 Bunny Hop 5K"

This spring has been truly shocking and rewarding and Saturday was no exception!  This is the 3rd year I’ve participated in Hempstead’s Bunny Hop 5K and I look forward to this race both as Hempstead Alumni and the chance of winning a ham, the prize given out to first place in each age category.  This year I was lucky enough to win the 5K race overall but more importantly crushed my previous 5K PR by nearly 40 seconds with an 18:23!!  I am very excited as my goal for this year was to break 18:30 but I had not planned on hitting that mark so early in the season.  Moreover to do it on a course with such a huge hill at the end, in the previous years I had hit that  hill and died off, last year I believe I ran a 21 something on the course… it sure was nice to come back and conquer that darn hill!
