"Opening Doors 5K"

I ran the Opening Doors 5K this weekend and had a great time!  It's a fun event with a really good cause... this was the second year my daughter Hayden was able to run, she did the kids 1/2 mile won 1st place in her age division this year(5 and under)!  I was pretty happy with my time as well this early in the year, I managed to keep it around 18:50 minutes despite the hills.  I also got a huge surprise by winning the event this year!  Lucky for me the elite runners of Dubuque's were absent from that race and that left me pretty stunned to be in the front of the pack.  I feel very grateful for the awesome plaque and kind words from Ann and the other event coordinators and I look forward to running again next year... Below are some pictures from the race!
