Weekend of 09/29 - Football, Lotus Fest & 5K

Tristan's parents came to visit this weekend! We went to Lotus Fest on Saturday night (it's a world music festival) and heard some interesting music entertainment (an alternative marching band from Portland, women drummers from Guinea & a few others) and walked around downtown Bloomington, since it was a great night to be out and about. IU football beat Iowa on Saturday, so that was great - we're now 4-1! Go Hoosiers! But, unfortunately, Michigan State lost to Wisconsin.....I ran in the Hoosiers Outrun Cancer 5K on Saturday morning as well, along with 5400 participants (only about 1500 ran in the 5K, but the other did the 5K walk or 1 mile family walk). It was a bit crazy to say the least! However, I did beat my previous 5K time with a new time of 38:09! The course was much harder than the first course (the second mile was pretty much a gradual mile long incline.....), but I was glad to have completed the race! TThe race ended on the 30 yard line of the football field so that was pretty cool to get to run on the field! The next one is on 10/13!
