4 days later...



But hey, I'm staying off YT, the main culprit. I'll probably hand it over this evening before I relapse.

The 5k in downtown Baton Rouge on March 3rd was awesome (our first downtown 5k, usually at LSU)! We saw parts of the city we wouldn't dare walk by ourselves, the roads were closed to traffic with a policeman at every intersection (in cars, on motorcycles and horses). The starting/finishing area by the capital is beautiful and park-like.

Only in the bayou do you walk/run a 5k and then after crossing the finish line, stuff yourself silly with jambalaya (rice or pasta) and pastries while listening to live 80's Rock! There were 5 tickets on our numbered bibs, each one got you small bowl of jambalaya or desert, choosing from various booths (you can vote on your favorite). We think the BR Firemen won the jambalaya contest, but it was all good!
