Guam - Land of the 5K

Apparently the Guam 5k circuit is a very social and common aspect of Guam. On any weekend there are probably 2 or 3 different 5K's in which you can compete. The other day I walked a 5K with my friends Terri Atkinson and Judy Albin. Although Terri could have looped us several times running, she walked instead with us enjoying the conversation and the fellowship. This 5K was called the "Fight the Fat 5K" sponsored by Payless Markets.
Carrying your HUGE handbag actually burns more calories.
Everyone is ready to go at 6AM..... All 2500 of us.
Judy and I wait for the race to start.
None of us won any rewards or raffles but we got a bunch of freebies. We finished in under 56 minutes. I hope to be ready to run one before this summer.
