Rising up to run like MADD

Ran one of my favorite summer races Saturday, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium 5K/Walk Like MADD.
This race, sponsored by the Atlanta Track Club, used to be called the Rise Up and Run 5K and finishes on the 50 yard line of the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It used to finish in the Georgia Dome, so I'm glad I've been able to run the race in both sports venues!
I ran the race with Leah from Decatur Moms Run This Town and she was great at keeping me going when I was wanting to walk it out. She kept me at a good pace and we finished with a little kick left.
Sarah and her husband Brent were at the race, too.
Early to rise up and run!
I got there really early, and the lights were on the stadium. Got a great photo!

Finishers!

Finished on the 50!
What a fun morning. We got a nice finisher's medal, too. That's always fun. I'll be ready to rise up and run this one again next year.
