GOTR 5k Banana (Nut bread)

Nothing better than a banana after a run (Or banana Nut bread). Today I had the GOTR 5k race. The girls did an amazing job and the coaches and staff couldn't be more proud. Everyone worked so hard for this event. Every girl finished and all the buddy runners plus families came out to support them. I got to run with one of the girls and I was blown away by her effort she showed out there today. She was giving it her all and was able to run the entire race. Check out a few photos from the race!

So proud of this group (some got cut off..oops)
