| Entrance to Sutter's Landing |
No drinks for me this Cinco, I ran a 5k. Attempted to at least.
The Free Run hosted by Fleet Feet J Street, Nike and Chipotle (free burritos for everyone) at Sutter's Landing was a great excuse for more Sacramento Exploring. Here is what I discovered:

Sutter's Landing is huge and offers a little something for everyone! Aside from the rough terrain trail I ran that was situated alongside the American River, I found basket ball and bocce courts as well as a dog park, a skate park and biking trails. This park was definitely designed for activity and perfect for a happy hour or weekend brunch replacement.
Project Fit is an awesome after school running program that provides materials and coaching session to Sacramento Elementary Schools. Although the run was free, donations were being accepted and my donation landed me a super cool Project Fit Jersey T.

| Nike Test Run Booth |
The funnest thing about the run was switching out my old running shoes for a brand new pair of Nike Free's. Fleet Feet J Street and Nike teamed up and provided runners with test rides of new running products.
Nike Free is awesome but probably better for days spent indoors. At the end of the race I had rocks stuck to the bottom of the shoe. Not very comfortable for running out in the rough terrain. Allergies Suck! I ran a bad race and came in at 37 minutes. The day was super hot and the pollen in the air was visible. I had to constantly stop to catch my breath and right before the finish line I had to stop and rest. My lungs closed up, I was wheezing, I couldn't stop sneezing and I couldn't breath out of my nose...This run confirmed it for me, allergies suck!
