I've never been to Africa, but the Toto song almost always comes to mind when Africa's mentioned.
This past weekend, my friend, Michelle & I ran the Goat Run for Empower Sudan & The Seed Effect - two wonderful organizations that I'll continue to support in years to come.
I was first introduced to these organizations in April 2012 when I ran the Sudan Footrace on the Katy Trail here in Dallas. Because my little sister, Brittany, is so involved with missions in Africa, anything I come across that helps missions, businesses & the betterment of LIFE in general in Africa, I'm all for it! So, for the second year in a row, the race put on by Empower Sudan & The Seed Effect wasn't something I was willing to miss at any cost!
It turned out to finally be a beautiful day after the chilly, rainy weather Dallas has had the last few weeks (and is expected to get tonight through the rest of the weekend - BOO!). We couldn't have asked for a better day & the turnout was even bigger than last year, which is always encouraging.

Anyway, we cut down :10 & :11 seconds from the Dash Down Greenville St. Patty's race we did on March 16th, so some improvement, haha! The plus: we ran the entire race (minus about 20yds) & the entire race course consisted of major hills, so if we applied the St. Patty's course to the Goat Run's pace, I'm guessing we'd have cut down even more time!
