i don't know what i was thinking, but back in november i signed up for my first 5k ever, created a team, and began inviting my friends. one of my co-workers designed the team logo (a purple people eater), and another embroidered headbands for me, while the team grew. i was excited about the event, but back then i couldn't have anticipated just how exhausted i would be, having just returned from two wewks of travel -- some of which included a lot of physical activities, leaving my body even weaker and more torqued than normal. i arrived home from costa rica at 1:30am on friday morning, and headed into work that day, sure that the 4am wake-up call on saturday morning would just about kill me. but i underestimated the power of color and good friends. the purple people eaters had grown to a group of about 25 people. some were friends, and some were friends of friends who i had never met. and though we all came with different levels of abilities, and expectations, somehow this casual run (or walk, in my case) exceeded all of them!
