#teamgolf – ioa corporate 5k

park ave 5k
it's like i can't get enough of running or something...i mean a half marathon last weekend and a 5k the weekend after?! i must be crazy. but through all the craziness, i always love race days. when you're training, you can't fully emulate the feeling that you get right before the race starts...the nerves, the …
