On Sunday May 20th Dr. Smyths office completed their first 5k road race. For some of our employees it was their first time training and running in a road race. The race we chose to do was HMEA Independence 5k, which raised money for children and adults with developmental disabilities. and was held at EMC in Franklin.
We started our training the first weekend in March, the plan we followed is called Couch to 5k. It was great to hear running chatter throughout the office for the next 12 weeks. There was talk of sneakers, shin splints, and most importantly , what are we going to wear! Dr. Smyth decided to purchase matching dry fit t-shirts with our names on it,along with our website address.

Although the weather was hot, we all had a great time, there was even talk about wanting to do another 5k road race in the future. I would call that a success!!
