Bond Brook 5k Series - Race #1 Recap
Last summer Ward, Wade and Joe started running the Bond Brook 5K Trail Series. The races took place on a Thursday night on the trails by the airport in Augusta. At first, I had zero interest in running the race and thought they were just plain old crazy for doing these races. But then I took the kids with me one night to spectate and take pictures and my mind was forever changed. Each week, it was usually the same group of runners. Sometimes there were some who only came once or twice, but for the most part, the group remained the same. Watching this group of runners take off into the woods and then crossing the finish line with a mix of exhilaration and pure exhaustion was amazing. As a runner, it was difficult for me to stand there and watch runners cross the finish line while I stood there with the kids. I thought that I could at least do my part and take pictures of the runners crossing the finish line and share those pictures...
