This past Sunday was the "Namaste 5K Fun Run" hosted by MOVE! This run was organized to help support MOVE International's 10th anniversary trip to Kolkata, India this coming summer. The run was open to anyone, at a price of $15 per participant. All proceeds and donations given to this trip goes straight to the organizations MOVE International works with.
Some of my fellow swimmers and I decided to participate in the run on that cold, cloudy Sunday morning in Vermont. Although our plan to start and finish the race together didn't work out so well (we all take running at different speeds), we all completed the 5K successfully! Although I was not in the best shape and the run may have hurt a little, I am glad to have accomplished my first 5K.

Last strides to the finish!
Events like these really make our team closer, and it proves how much we care and support the other groups/teams on campus. If you plan on attending SMC, come join us in the run next year. Not only is it for a great cause, but it can definitely help whip you into shape!
