The Color Run 5k 2012 race review

In August 2012, we did the Color Run in Englishtown, NJ.  It is a 5k fun run where they throw colored chalk on you at every Km marker on the course.  Diana had worked really hard to get in shape and lost a lot of weight that year.  She started running decided to do this race as her first 5k.  It sounded like fun as Donna and I signed up.  

Giant's Stadium Run of Champions 5K 2012 race review

New York Road Runners (NYRR) started doing the Giant Stadium Run of Champions 5k in April 2012.  I decided it would be a great race to get my family to do since they live in NJ not far from the stadium.  My sister-in-law has done a few 5ks with me.  My mom has been trying to get into running and she likes to do a run/walk for a 5K.  My niece was 8 at the time.  A few weeks before the race, my brother was bragging about the fact that she demolished the competition at her school field day in both the 100 yard and 50 yard dash.  Seeing how NYRR does kid races, I figured we should bring her along.
