Red Dress 5K Run for Women

This race supports awareness of heart disease in women  It starts in Elizabeth Park, wanders through the streets in my neighborhood and ends back in the park.  I have shown in every year.


This woman lit up and posed when she saw the camera and the whole group started smiling.


Even runners who have good times need a breather on occasion,  It was kind of hot.


"Fit-ish?"  A lot fitter than just ish.  Trust me.


This family all wear tiaras and run together.  Last year they stopped for their picture.  Nice women.

The Hartford Courant's 2018 girl athlete of the year -- a rising junior in high school -- won the race.  The winner from the last two years came in third, not even two months after having a baby.  Wow.
