Glow Run 5k!!

Back on November 10th, I did the most entertaining and athletic thing in New Orleans since I first arrived. I ran the Glow Run 5k in downtown New Orleans, it was so much fun to be a part of. When I first heard about it, I didn't think it looked that cool, but when I googled it and found out more about it, it looked like the coolest thing ever. I decided to run as a group, so me and my friend Alora ran it together. We named are group "Brendan's Angels" because at first, we thought more people would be running with us, but they bailed out. We decided to stick with the name because we both found it funny. We got to Champions Square about an hour early for packet pick-up and also to get free shirts and glow in the dark wrap around sticks. As we waited by the Superdome for the race to begin, music was playing throughout the city, mainly along where the coarse ran. The race itself, once it started, was so much fun. Everyone was dressed up in something different either running the whole thing, or walking. There were people dressed up as panda bears, people who were dressed in morph suits, the people kept us entertained throughout the race, and if there was any point at where you felt a little tired, the music along the way kept you pumped and ready to finish. The point at where it all finished felt amazing to cross. The feeling you get when you have achieved your goal and finished the race was awesome. The fact that we got handed amazing medals also was great. After all that there was music awaiting and a beer garden with free..... beer!! Made finishing the race even better. Overall it was a great time and a great night. I hope to one day do all the big runs here in New Orleans, like the Color Run, but thats for another day.
