Portland Sea Dogs Mother's Day 5K

I thought it would be a great to sign up for my first 5K in order to help keep me motivated to achieve my goal of running for 90 days. I went onto Maine Track Club's website to see if there were any races that would work for me. Low and behold, there was! What a great Mother's Day gift to myself if I could actually finish a 5K!

If you live in the Portland area and interested in joining me, check out the info! So far, I have my husband, Kevin, my mom and a few friends who will run this with me! So, what are you waiting for???
