My First 5K and More... 
Mine is pretty laid back! We used to go to the lake in Wisconsin, but as my boys got older, they wanted to spend it at home with their friends.

Now they’re calling for more rain tomorrow. 😦 Could potentially be a soggy race.
Otherwise not much going on. Your weekend looks lovely!

Thanks! When I looked this morning 47% chance of rain at start time. Shouldn’t be a washout, anyway.
